From Booklist
Combined with 400 color photographs illustrating 50 yard-care techniques are more than 100 time-saving and weather-related tips from garden experts. The book is organized by plant groups: lawns, lawn alternatives, and trees and shrubs. The section on lawns gives instructions on selecting grasses, laying sod, starting a lawn from seed, using plugs and sprigs, repairing damaged lawns, mowing, feeding, aerating, and pest and disease control. The pages devoted to lawn alternatives focus on choosing and planting a ground cover, ornamental grasses and vines, and planting on a slope. The section on trees and shrubs informs gardeners how to choose, plant, prune, shape, and renovate them.

There also is helpful information on creating a front yard (choosing materials for a walk; creating walls, fences, and entryways; and selecting outdoor lighting). A chapter on yard basics deals with such subjects as using the right tools and with fertilizing, composting, and mulching. At the end of each chapter is a checklist of related chores for both northern and southern regions of the country. George Cohen
