Ugly Lawn, Be Gone!

Our backyard lawn is terrible.  It doesn't drain well & is always a wet, muddy area.  Even in the warmest days of summer, our lawn is a soggy, nasty mess.  It is so bad the girls cannot even go out & play on it.  Marc & I are so tired of it that we decided to give our lawn a 'makeover'.  Well, not 'we', because we are definitely not Mr. & Mrs. Green Thumb! :)  But the company we called will (hopefully) be making our lawn pretty again.  They came this past weekend & got to work.

Here is the 'before' of our lawn.  See how 'thin' the grass is & the dead looking patches?  So very ugly.


A lot of aerating & fertilizing.


Add in some seed & topsoil.


And hopefully in 3-4 weeks our lawn will go from this:


To this:


Because these two little girls are dying to go outside & play in the grass!  Well, maybe just Kennedy.  Ashby just looks annoyed that I am taking her picture. :)


Stay tuned (hopefully) for some pictures in the next month of our green, lush, beautiful grass!

  2. We have the same problem with drainage and horrible looking grass, plus our patio is black like there is some fungus growing on it. We are both exasperated with it.
