Rich,

Thanks for the feedback. I have a very large tree in my front yard that generally leaves most of the yard in shade. Given that, do you think I'd be allright seeding now, or should I still wait. As for the watering, I have an in-ground sprinkler system. How do I guage an inch of water using those kind of sprinklers? where do I put the guage, etc.?

great - thanks!

I am located in Royal Oak, MI, so we have the four seasons. I do want grass, and grass will grow well here if cared for properly. Most of our problem is our neighbors let their weeds grow and seed, which infested our yard last year.

My lawn is uneven, sparse, and full of weeds. I want to care for my lawn organically, but I feel like I need to start from scratch, so I'm looking for help on how to get rid of my current grass, level out the ground, get the right amount of topsoil, reseed, and maintain it properly. I know this is a tall order, but I'm looking for some direction. Help! Thanks!
