Fall Prep for Spring Lawn & Garden
 

I just had two huge Liquid Amber trees cut down because the surface
roots were taking over my entire lawn. (More roots than grass!)
They'll be grinding the stumps and surface roots in the next day or so,
and I plan on installing a new lawn and garden area next spring. What
steps should I take this fall to ensure that the grass and flowers
flourish next spring where huge trees once stood?

Fall Prep for Spring Lawn & Garden
 

Thanks for the reply, Travis. I'll have to install a new sprinkler
system and agonize over the new lawn & garden layout, so it'll probably
be several weeks' worth of planning and work before I'm ready for the
grass to go in. By then, it'll be pretty cold here in Northern
California, so the lawn will probably have to wait until spring. But
that does give me time to do some prep, such as add some blood meal to
the areas full of chipped tree roots.

Any other advice to get the wood-chip laden soil ready for planting is
appreciated.
