Not Just for Idiots
The "reader" in the above review did not read the book. It contains extensive instructions for renovating existing lawns.

She also discusses topdressing at length, a technique I didn't find in any other lawn book...

In the typical format, The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Beautiful Lawn is easy to read and understand with abundant simple definitions and explanations and well-formulated, easy-to-follow instructions.

Better for designing a new lawn,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lawn Care (Paperback)
In the typical format, The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Beautiful Lawn is easy to read and understand with abundant simple definitions and explanations and well-formulated, easy-to-follow instructions. However, there is comparatively little on revitalizing an existing lawn, and the major emphasis is on putting in a new lawn. Granted, lessons from putting in a new lawn can be applied to revitalizing an existing lawn, but the techniques for doing so are not detailed and are rarely even mentioned. A useful book, but not my favorite Complete Idiot's Guide.

She also discusses topdressing at length, a technique I didn't find in any other lawn book I looked at. I found this book very useful and quite comprehensive. IMHO, this is the fundamental homeowner's reference work on lawns.
