  First of all, you have to make a budget for your lawn. Decide about what kind of lawn you want to make and assign the respective costs accordingly.

  Then, you have to find the right place for the lawn in your house. Normally, the best place is the entrance or the backside of your house.

  If you already have a lawn, you will have to remove. If you are planning to lay down a small lawn, you will have to use a grape hoe in order to dig up the old lawn. On the other hand, if you have a big lawn, you will use a sod cutter to remove it.

  It will be better for you to call the local cooperative extension service so as to test your soil. You can also send them a sample of your soil for testing. If there is a need for anything, add it in your soil e.g. fertilisers. You can also make changes to your soil composition by adding organic matter into it.

  It is extremely important for you to make sure that the surface of your lawn is smooth. If there are any stones in the soil, remove them right away. Then, water your soil and let it dry afterwards.

  Now, you have to spread the seeds which you bought from the market on your lawn. You can add fertiliser before spreading the seeds. Place the seed in the right manner and don’t just spread them unevenly. After that, rack the soil and roll it over.

  Your lawn is ready. Enjoy!
