I just moved into a new home and have a large lawn area in the
backyard....no lawn yet. Basically it's about 40% grass and the rest weeds
and dead patches of dirt. Without starting from scratch today, or laying
sod ( which we want to do next season...whenever that is..) is there
anything that i can do with what i have right now to improve it???

Thanks for any help...

Where do you live?
