With the right information and advice you can have a lawan growing outside your home with little effort. There is really more to growing a lawn than just planting grass seeds.

The various kinds of grass that are there do not all grow well in the same environment. So you have to think about the amount of rain that you receive; access to the sun and the amount of shade that you can provide or that is needed.

When it comes to planting it will also depend on whether you are planting a new lawn totally or on ground that has an existing lawn and you just want to replenish it. If its virgin ground then you will have to make sure that is cleared of all weeds, other grass and anything else that might be growing there. Try and remove even the roots if possible. Leaving bits of root usually means these things will grow at a later stage and your lawn won’t develop properly

The seeds need to be spread evenly so that there are no patches when the lawn does grow. The soil should be loose and the seeds be covered by another layer of this soil.

It is only while it is still growing that you need to pay attention to a lawn after that its just the occasional trimming and cutting. A lawn should have enough water but it should never become water clogged. You can use fertilizer but weed killer only after you are sure that it is now strong.
