Homeowner Best Management Practices for the Home Lawn
Alex J. Lindsey, Marco Schiavon, J. Bryan Unruh, and Laurie E. Trenholm
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. A healthy lawn effectively filters and traps sediment and pollutants that could otherwise contaminate surface waters and groundwater. This publication is intended for those who maintain their own lawn and landscapes.
