The house is about 20 years old and I believe that the first owner had
lawn here. The second owner replaced it with tiny stones (which seemed to
attract the local cats). We got rid of the stones, dug over the
underlying soil, added more soil and finally seeded it.

I wonder why the previous owner put tiny stones down. Perhaps they had
similar problems.
Just a thought Probably not a very good one .

I think it's a very good thought - stones help with drainage!
