It is the basic feature which is used for home ground development and an essential feature for all other types of garden. In a home garden, a lawn improves the appearance of the house, enhances its beauty, increases conveniences and usage. A lawn provides a perfect setting area for a flower bed, a decorative greenery filled border, a shrubbery or even trees.
