So how bad does a lawn have to get before it's better to turn it and sod? The backyard on the house we just bought has been mowed, but that's about it, so it's now a mix of several different grasses and "plants," and to a point where it's not comfortable to walk on barefoot, if that gives you an idea about what I mean by "plants." There one small tree in the corner, so plenty of sunlight, but there isn't an irrigation system, so it's likely that the yard was rarely watered.

Would herbicide be an option here, or are we better of mulching it all, and starting with a new level layer of topsoil?

I put down new sod last year because I didn’t wanna deal with my shit weeds.. it was hard ass work but very satisfying

Early March I put THIS down. Scotts website is saying that between now and May 11th I should be putting down Bonus S Weed and Feed. Stick with Scotts or go with something else? I'll be selling my house either this summer or next summer (depending if we buy existing or build custom), so just trying to work on curb appeal. Just throw Milorganite down and make everything nice and green?

Yeah that's what I was wondering if the grass would grow through the dead spots or if I had tobdig up those spots and put dirt down which I didn't really want to do :/

[black2002ls]

Give it a little bit. Grass is just starting to green. If it got stressed, it will come in. If it was already coming out of dormancy, it may be dead.

With as much rain as we have had, fertilize at the appropriate time, and it should spread through those brown spots pretty quick.

I am sorry. What i meant was, I spot sprayed my yard for some weeds that had popped up and now thosesame areas have nothing growing but everything else is green. The grass in those spots still look dormant.

alright i did something stupid to my spots of my yard.. i hit the weeds back in mid feb with weed killer and most of my bermuda now has turned back to green except those spots..they are either dormant which i highly doubt or dead which is what im leaning towards. What do I do?

Seed? Sod? Just wait for the bare spot to fill in? Bermuda spreads pretty quick

My yard is coming back nicely, minimal weeds since I did pre emergent twice this year.. too bad I just sold my house and my new yard is a fucking wreck.. it’s infested with dallisgrass.. I fear I’ll have to nuke my yard this year and start over

Mine was the same way when I bought it. It took 3 years to bring it back to something resembling a yard. MSMA is a must.
