Want to learn how to go from bare dirt to a lush lawn in less than 1 year? I’ll show you the steps I took to get these results!

Oh, the joys of building a new house – you get to establish the lawn. Of course, we could always just pay to have it done, but being super frugal we’ve decided to plant it ourselves. Here’s some pics to see the status.

We used mostly Tall Fescue from TSC for this planting, although since we were so close to winter I decided to throw some winter rye in the mix just in case. I didn’t get this grass planted until October 1 in Michigan, which is LATE! 2 months earlier would have been just fine with me. My other post lists different grass seed options and the pros and cons of them.
