Ironically, I just watched a short by a guy who restores native grasslands.

I've gotten the same results by just dragging a spike tooth harrow around to loosen up the dirt, spreading the seed and then lightly raking it in. Then just keep it damp for about 10 to 14 days and walla.

I made the same transformation, but just spread seed and raked it in. Total cost $30 for seed.😊

You lost me when you brought a truck of soil:)

After moving to Montana, I learned my "lawn" is basically prairie grass and will dominate over "lawn". 😊 The wildlife like it this way.

I just transformed my red-tide contributing, water hog of a Florida backyard into a food forest. We did the whole hand removal of weeds, seeding, fertilizing, etc with our lawn over the past 8 yrs. Our dogs destroyed portions of the lawn every winter when the grass went dormant. Over the last few years we've replaced 80% of our ornamental landscape with edible plants: bananas, papayas, pineapple, citrus trees, Florida cranberry, Cranberry hibiscus, blueberries, passion fruit, etc. We had a good size vegetable garden on the side of the house and eventually decided if it's not edible or beneficial it's not gonna be in our yard. We just put in another 100sf of beds with cattle panel trellis. It looks gorgeous. All the neighbors thought we were nuts, but now that it's finished with lighting and pathways they get it. It's like being in a botanical garden and the neighbors all reap the benefits with shared produce. The dogs love it. We kept a small area of grass for them to roll in and created a specific potty area for them that's much easier to maintain daily than searching the whole lawn for daily disposal.
Residential grass is such a waste of water. The chemicals and fertilizer negatively impact the environment.
From the mouth of Pete Kanatis pf Green Dreams, "don't be a grasshole!"

Great job, you were fortunate to have a level lawn. Having slopes can add add few problems to putting in a lawn.

I went to Sneed's Feed and Seed (Formerly Chuck's) and they hooked me up with everything I needed to re grow my lawn!

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. Their appearance as a common plant was in the mid-Cretaceous period. There are 12, 000 species now.[3]A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. That is because they are wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated, so they do not have to attract insects. Green is the best colour for photosynthesis.

Grasslands such as savannah and prairie where grasses are dominant cover 40.5% of the land area of the Earth, except Greenland and Antarctica.[4]

Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. They include the "grass" of the family Poaceae, which are called grass by ordinary people. This family is also called the Gramineae, and includes some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[5] These three families are not very closely related, though all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a similar life-style.

With about 780 genera and about 12, 000 species, [3] the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family. Only the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae have more species.[6]

The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.

Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales.

Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[7] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

Corporations have done such a good job at training us to throw our money away while also trashing the environment. Meadows are so much prettier and they support the food web that we humans depend on.

Gonna be tilling my own yard to get grass properly planted next spring. Fingers crossed for a transformation like this

The birds were very nice to your grass seed.

I have a 16' x 17' fenced-in backyard that was filled with landscaping rocks. It took three men to get them up. Now they have to level it out. Backyards are no joke.

[kxry]

I feel you on that soil.. I had to fill 750 25gallon fabric pots with only a wheel barrel. Shit was rough

[willt]

This was literally the video I needed, massive help.

[TheHousonG]

Thank you!!! This video is exactly what I needed!!

[paulchapman]

Looks great. My back yard needs a makeover like this.
