I dont think lawns should have to look like golf courses, but some kind of perrenial, annual, herbs(no pun intended), a butterfly garden, a fern or shade garden, or even some sod would be nice. I'll tell you what, if i was out there, I would come over and do it for free because i know ya'll have nice weather, and there is no reason for it to look like that.
Sorry for the rant.
are you talking smack about my lawn?
if you only knew. i made 7 trips to the dump in the last 4 months. i haven't had my backyard for years. between ex-father-in-laws and brother-in-laws the place was a storage yard. it's finally clean. i have the well going again after used of no use. got it going mid summer last year. it was to late to water at that point. this year things are different.
