I live in Oklahoma and my house got hit by a tornado in the spring of '10, we re-built and had the
yard re-sodded in November. I live on 25 acres, but I only had sod placed around the house. and since weve had a severe drought this summer, Ive been trying to keep the yard watered. The East, West and South side of my yard looks fantastic. Those are also the sides of my yard that dont really get any foot traffic. The north side of my yard (front yard) looks like
poop. I slowed down on watering the yard in the last month because its gotten to be a real pain in the butt and my front yard never looked any better. In fact, it got worse. In the last month my front yard has really deteriorated while the rest of my yard still looks great. I have some pics, and you can see below. The problem part of the yard is really thick, but the grass is compact and matted to the ground. Im assuming that its because of foot traffic. ..Im not sure what I
should do here, so any advice would be awesome!!!
This picture looks East. ..The left side of the pic is where the grass starts to get worse. Off to the right, around the corner of the house, the grass is amazing. This is where the split starts. (ignore the dead tree, still lots of tornado damaged things to be cleaned up! lol)
