3 Steps to a Great Spring Lawn

Contrasting Color

Reap some wonderful landscape rewards with a little lawn.

Red brick or black stone borders around your lawn create a contrast of color that breaks up the monotony of green. Replicating the brick or stone of a house's foundation in the landscape will pull the eye from the curb to the front door, while repeating the straight lines of a front porch or the curved lines of an archway will create a pleasing effect.

In the lawn at left, combining flat stone pavers with turf creates a formal but functional entrance.
