What kind of grass?

it's a wide variety. i never said it was a good lawn, it has it's
share of weeds that i can't ever seem to get rid of, but i'd like to
keep it green at least. it has been a struggle for 13 years and i'm
getting tired of it always working out the same way. that's why i

was
looking for other people's experience w/ stone and their thoughts.


The reason that I asked was: Perhaps you have an abundance of cool

season
grass(es), which would definately give results as you have experienced,
during hot weather. Perhaps going with a more warm-season grass would do
the trick.


If it's a sunny area I'd consider killing the whole thing with roundup and
planting a blend with improved turf type tall fescue. How many square feet
is it, and is it fairly level?


it's about 2300sqft appx.58x40 and has between 2.5' - 3' of pitch from the
house to the street. iv'e never measured the slope but from my best
estimate, it's no more than that.
