This book is the second, revised edition of the older GRASIS and serves as the most up-to-date manual on the topic of lawns.

Lawns are today a fundamental and popular structural element of gardens, parks, and public open spaces, as well as an essential infrastructure in sports fields. They play a critical role in the decoration of the surrounding environment, in improving the microclimate, as well as in protecting the soil.

However, there are opposing views which argue that lawns are a foreign element to the Greek landscape, with specific water requirements. In this book, the author shares insights from his professional experience of over four decades.

The topic of lawns is thoroughly analyzed, and answers are provided to all questions regarding their selection, installation, management, and suitability for the Greek climate.
