How do you remove shards of glass from the lawn. The previous owner of my house did window installations and he would take the old windows home and break out the glass and recycle the window frame for cash. I really need help on this since tHe glass shards vary in size.

 I'm not sure there's an easy solution. Mowing and bagging will pull up the loose shards but I suspect there are some imbedded in the soil, as well. You may have to use a sod cutter to remove the turf (roll it up, roots and all) and then put down some new top soil and plant new grass. If you don't there's the possibility that glass shards will always be in the area. Wish there were an easier solution!
