Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a trained professional. If you are serious about diagnosing your lawn issues, this is the book for you.
This is not a throw this stuff on your lawn book. You need to want to be involved in finding out your problem, with the aid of the text.
If so, buy this book. You can do it if you have the mind to. Obviously, it is only appropriate for Florida.

The Perfect North Carolina Lawn: Attaining and Maintaining the Lawn You Want (Creating and Maintaining the Perfect Lawn) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This wasn't the book I expected it to be. I was ready for a book that would give me a quick answer to all my lawn question, but this isn't it. There is some work you need to do before you read this book. The major thing is find out the pH of your soil then go from there.
It is a lot of if you have A then do 1 and if you have B then do 2 answers. I was really expecting if you have fescue then do A, B & C and you will have a great lawn, but it isn't that easy.
It does make a good reference book after you do some work to find out a lot about your lawn and soil. I will put it on the shelf and when I see something strange I will consult the book but I don't think it is going to get a lot use.

Building a Healthy Lawn: A Safe and Natural Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was quite starved for information to help me repair drought damage to my front lawn as well as seed a new lawn from scratch in the backyard. I read the book from cover to cover quite quickly and I feel somewhat enlightened. The concepts put forth by Stuart et al for maintaining a healthy lawn are quite simple to understand and execute. Each aspect from choosing a grass type to how to effectively seed and then eventually maintain your lawn is covered in detail in its own chapter. One aspect of the book which I particularly enjoyed was the explanations of exactly what you need to do to cause problems in your yard. I think sometimes its just as important to be informed how to to screw up as it is to do things right. Sometimes people can accidently kill their lawns without the knowledge of exactly what they are doing wrong. The book covers the functions of different chemical approaches to lawn care, but maintains that natural care is the most cost effective and safest way to maintain a lawn in the long term. I was very impressed by the book, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
