Ok just bought a new house. Have a fairly good size back yard.

First I need to get rid of this ugly ass green grass stuff. Any ideas what it is or how to get rid of it?

Second what are some good ideas I could do with this space? I think i want to extend the patio area but am not sure how to incorporate the whole yard and make it look nice.

Third no pool.

man they just look like shit. And come summer time when the grass grows like crazy they are going to double in size like some herpe or something

What kind of grass is that ?


Hard to tell in the pic but it almost looks like st augustine that got some serious brown patch or new sod that was not watered enough or watered too much during cool weather that got brown patch.




Or is it just wild grass ?


You can rent a grass cutter that will scrape all the sod up and allow you to replant some nice grass if it is trash grass.

What does sod cost?? I would think it would be really expensive to resod this size yard??

How big is the yard ?


Last time I bought st augustine you could get a pallet that covers 400 sq ft for about $100 -120. Measure up your square feet and call some different places for prices delivered.

whatever that "grass" is it comes up in winter, and it's dammed hard to kill. Fortunately, its easy to pull. I always get some of it in my yard. Treating with pre-emergent in the fall seems to take care of most of it.

you can call that fool junior and have him give you an estimate on the material and labor if you dont want to do it??

Sounds like the grass you are speaking of is annual blue grass, all I can say is pull it before it seeds or you will be spraying MSMA on it this spring. Get a close up pic of the grass

Ill see about getting some better pics of it tomm.

My wife and I spent a few hours out there pulling them up. With a shovel we would hit the roots...then yank it up with the roots and all. hopefully that will prevent them from returning.

But damn theres alot of them. seems like we didnt even make a dent in them and filled a whole trash bag

You can hire professionals who will pick all the debris and level the surface, or if you have tine DIY as it seems not a tough job from the pics. And right, extending your concrete patio sounds a good idea to me! It will increase your outdoor living space and will be great for get togethers.

To get rid of the green grass I'd hire a landscaping company that does turf installation in your area. I got lucky when I ordered roof cleaning Seattle services because they referred me to a turf installation pro who worked for himself and gave me a great deal. Hope that helps!

I love to have this kind of fence.

Yes. You can call your local dumpster rental company and they will suggest you of some who can tidy up your backyard. Who knows, they might even provide the service by themselves.

 

[Saul Maynard]

Yes, I agree. They grow so fast and look so dirty. I suggest you to hire a professional and clean it up. And if you have enough budget, why not plan pool, pool decks and a patio? I mean, after all that's a large backyard in there!

 

[Precious Furler]

suryi was right, you should maximize your backyard, and make some serious fencing, otherwise it won't be a good investment at all.
