Summary:A healthy lawn is an important component of an urban landscape. Not only do lawns increase the value of a property, but they also reduce soil erosion, filter stormwater runoff, cool the air, and reduce glare and noise.

This publication is intended for those who maintain their own lawns and landscapes.
