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 its virgin ground then you will have to make sure that is cleared of all weeds, other grass and anything else that might be growing there. Uproot as much of everything as is possible. Most plants can grow just from the roots that are left behind when clearing so you want to make sure that this does not happen
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.
