Some lawn types are better suited to heavy foot
traffic than others, but if you and your family are
cutting from the house to the garden or the house
to the pool over and over again, putting in a path
will keep your grass from wearing thin. It can
also be an attractive landscaping addition.
Low Spots Are Your Gardening Enemy
A variety of levels in your landscaping and gardening can create a pleasing look, but be sure to avoid
creating low spots. The combination of excessive
moisture and poor air circulation that typically
plagues low spots is an invitation to lawn disease.
