get rid of your lawn and plant native plants ... they will be more tolerant to your weather and in the long run less to maintain ... i don't get why people would want to maintain lawns ... you grow the grass just so you can cut it ... you pump a bunch of weed killer and other pesticides so nothing else grows on it ... then you gotta use all this water to keep it green ... :fp:

Replace "Profit" with "Green lush lawn" and you should be good.

Still, you have to weed plants and gardens. I prefer to fire up a two-stroke engine while drinking a kokanee and lay waste to everything in my path.

perhaps you can cut out a few hundred square feet of turf and bring it down :?:

sorry to say- its best to start over. I did with the back yard, had it tilled and seeded and after 1 month or so- beautiful green grass. There are a few weeds, but in another month I can do some weed and feed and get rid of them. You can always put down sod- but it can be expensive if you have a big yard.

Make sure it gets plenty of water and feed it in the beginning and end of the season.

good luck.

I may have to do this with half the GF's backyard. just need to get some temp fencing to keep the dogs off the dirt.
