A beautiful lawn transforms your backyard into a place you actually want to be. Whether you're starting from scratch or replacing a worn-out patch, the right preparation gives you grass that stays healthy and green. Count on a bit of patience: there's time between sowing and enjoying, but the result is worth it.
You start with the soil: remove weeds and old turf, till, level, and enrich with compost. Then you sow grass seed or lay turf that suits your climate and soil, water regularly, and maintain the field with mowing and fertilising. Before you know it, there's a lawn ready for a picnic, a game of football, or simply your bare feet.

Prepare the soil: remove old turf and weeds, till, level, and enrich with compost or fertiliser. Choose seed or turf that suits your climate and soil.
Sow your grass seed or lay the turf according to the instructions on the packaging, so the grass takes root evenly.
Water thoroughly so seeds germinate or turf roots, but keep the field from getting waterlogged to prevent mould.
Maintain your lawn once it starts growing: regular mowing, watering, and fertilising keep it healthy and green.
Flop down on your new grass. A picnic, a game of football, or just lying back: your garden is ready to be enjoyed.
