When it comes to planting it will also depend on whether you are planting a new lawn totally or on ground that has an existing lawn and you just want to replenish it. If the ground has never been planted then it must be thoroughly cleared to make sure nothing competes with your lawn as it grows. Uproot as much of everything as is possible. Leaving bits of root usually means these things will grow at a later stage and your lawn won’t develop properly
When planting your seeds you need to make sure that you plant them evenly about the place so that there are no patches when your lawn does grow. The soil should be loose and the seeds be covered by another layer of this soil.
It is only while it is still growing that you need to pay attention to a lawn after that its just the occasional trimming and cutting. A lawn should have enough water but it should never become water clogged. You can use fertilizer but weed killer only after you are sure that it is now strong.
