An Idea
by: From Landscape Solutions

Hi Donna:
This is landscape solutions website. I reviewed your question and saw the comment which was excellent! I would probably recommend at this time to till the entire lawn. Rake and level it out and then overseed, fertilize with a six month slow release nitrogen fertilizer. If you can, stay on a good watering schedule. You could do the raise beds around your trees to add a nice touch. For now, focus on getting the grass growing again.

You can opt to do this now in the fall or next spring as I am not sure your time schedule for being back in your home.

I wish you the best of luck and please feel free to keep us informed as there are other people with ideas that may help you. Good luck to you and let us know what you decide.

Dead grass
by: Donna

Yes, I do have trees in my yard. Though due to Hurricane Rita I have fewer now. They were huge pine trees. The trees fell on my house. I am not living there right now, but they are working on my house. I was going to clean up the back yard (stumps removed, 2 other pine trees removed, hangers removed, etc) but the problems with growing grass, etc in my yard predates Rita.

I don't know if this will help

Do you have a lot of trees in your yard? Sometimes this can be a cause why you cannot grow plants or grass. You can put a weed killer down and wait a week and then bring some top soil in and spread it around your yard. You can then overseed, fertilize and water and try again. Maybe consider doing landscape beds through the yard and try a little bit of grass. If you do landscape beds then raise your beds up with at least 4 to 6 inches of good top soil. I don't think cement would be an option so maybe think about doing these few things. Good luck to you.
