Morphology
The compound meaning 'a cart used for the lawn/gardening' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'lawn' (grass area) with 'cart' (wheeled vehicle for transporting goods). Noun+noun composition is a productive, literal pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Lawn cart combines two clear images: a cart, a small wheeled vehicle, and a lawn, the grassy area of a garden. Imagine pushing a little cart over the grass to carry soil, clippings, or tools, and you see why it means 'a small cart for carrying garden materials'.
