Disaster Lawn! What can I do? (photo)
 
http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/7...0930ay0.th.jpg

That is my lawn. :(

I have two dogs, and i dont know if they are the only reason (please tell me!) but they are one of the reasons why it looks like this. It was fine when I bought the house in november...

So what can I do?

I want to try and save as much money as possible so I only want to returf the garden as a last option.

What can I do to bring my lawn back to life?

Thankyou
Kirsty

its a real problem keeping two dogs on a lawn that size and not kill
the grass.

That garden has taken a turn for the worst alright!

The yellow area, had it been covered for a long period of time with something extremely heavy? such as a shed...

This garden is recoverable, but with the way it is now i would say maintenance isn't hugely favoured.

Have a look at this site on Artificial Grass, iit's so easy to install and doesn't take up any maintenance time.

I think i'm considering buying some myself

Dog urine will do that, and especially female dog urine.

A yard that small would probably be better off with pavers.

River rock or gravel and put plants in containers then it won't look so bad. Getting rid of the dogs would help.
