Lawns are defined as an area of land with grass, and sometimes clover and other plants, which are maintained at a low, even height.

According to Rodale's Landscape Problem Solver by Jeff and Liz Ball, "Lawns are the fabric of the landscape. It is the piece on which everything is rooted-trees, shrubs, and flowers."

Because of its aesthetic and functional uses within the landscape, it is essential that the lawn be properly maintained. However, the exact care and maintenance of the lawn depends on many factors including the types of grass, location, renovation methods, management practices (watering, fertilizing, mowing, etc.) and cultual, insect and animal problems.
