Thanks for the reply's, i'm in El Paso. We alread have some seed, given to us. Pennington Bermuda, Sahara. It's my wife that really wants a lawn and i'm not going to argue with her. I figured with the Bermuda i might get away with watering twice a week and i may only seed part of the back yard.

I guess what i need to know is whether or not i should hire a tiller and start fresh, there's patches of grass as you can see in the pictures. I'm also guessing it's a little early to be seeding right now?

Thanks again.
