There are several factors that must be taken into consideration when planning a lawn care project. These are, in other words, the facets to be explored when planning a lawn care project. These also form the basis for evaluation of how well the project was carried out (when the time for such evaluation comes). We will be looking at some of these factors that need to be taken into consideration when planning a lawn care project. By the end of this brief discussion, we will have covered enough ground to enable you to plan a lawn establishment and maintenance project competently.
The best way to explore the factors that need to be taken into consideration when planning a lawn care project is by looking at the questions that one needs to ask, in this endeavor. So this is the approach we will be taking. And without further ado, we come to learn that the questions one needs to ask (and get answers to) in the process of planning for a lawn care project include the one as to:
1. How much land is available: this will determine the scope of the project. It will also determine whether, in fact, it is possible to establish a lawn in the first place. This is because if the plot is too small, it may become necessary to think of establishing a flower bed, as opposed to a lawn! A plot of land for lawn establishment has to be of a respectable size. If a lot of land is available, a question will arise as to what portion to devote to the lawn, and what portion to devote to other uses. In cases where a lot of land is available, we also tend to have a question on the lawn site: this being about the selection of the ideal spot for lawn within the (larger) piece of land.
2. What lawn size is desired: this will determine the amount of resources to be deployed in the entire lawn care project. The desired lawn size has, of course, to be looked at in the context of the available land - as you can't desire to have a lawn that is bigger than the amount of land available!
3. How the topography of the land is like: this will determine whether the land has to be rehabilitated before a lawn can be established there, or if the lawn can be established straightaway. In cases where rehabilitation has to be undertaken, the cost of the project tends to go up substantially.
4. The nature of the results that are desired: this will influence things like the lawn grass species to be planted, and the lawn care methods to be used. We may be looking at a case where a person (or an organization) just requires €a beautiful lawn.' In that case, the effort required to deliver the desired result would be much less than that which is required to serve a person or an organization desirous of a €truly impressive lawn.' Thus, the nature of results desired also influences the resources that need to be deployed in the lawn care project.
