I am over there every other day working on the upper part of the yard.  The tenant insisted on taking responsibility for the landscaping, saying he had a "guy" for that.  So I said ok and look what happened!  Because he took control of it I can use his deposit towards the landscaping.  But it won't cover all of it, including other things I have noticed, so I'm going to try and use him for as much labor as possible.  This house is literally 800 steps from the one I live in.

Thank you for your reply.

Pretty much what you see IS what is left; little tufts here and there.  That's the thing I really like about Bermuda is that it can't really be "killed" and with some TLC it can come back.  With it being as bad as it is I'm hoping there is a fertilizer or something I can accelerate the process.  Also, I'm in San Diego so my soil clay.

My tenants killed my lawn!

I've brought it back to life many times but it's never been this bad.  First of all, they failed to water/maintain the lawn after insisting on taking responsibility for it.  Then recently put down sand and there are now 3 storage sheds in the backyard!  They have until Friday to get rid of everything on the lawn (including the sand) and I'm taking over a tool to aerate the ground.  Aeration plus lots of water has worked for me in the past but this time it will take quite a while.  

Does anyone have any recommendations on what else I can do, should I be doing something different, products I can buy to help the process along, etc? This is the last time I'll let a tenant assume responsibility for my landscaping!

Thank you.
