CAM, I'm really hoping that this is the year I get my little bit of front yard grass looking good. We had five big oak trees taken out over the winter - they were already dead or in the process of dying from a disease. Moles/voles have tunnels all through the yard and where their tunnels humped up, River and Riley dug bigger holes trying to get at them. Needless to say, it is a mess now other than the original problem of the grass being sparse and weedy. Luckily the size of the area is very manageable, so we are going to bring in compost and topsoil, level out all the humps, and totally reseed. I've been reading the Scotts website to get an idea of what to be using in addition to grass seed, but would appreciate any tips from your experience. It looks like they recommend an application of a pre-conditioner product, then the seed. I'm still trying to figure out when/if to do applications of weed control, lime, and/or fertilizer.
