That is true. Also, rent the aerator and go over it a couple of times->

Then use some soil amendments and reseed.. BUT, like you said, do it in the fall.

Any results in spring will likely die (at least 1/2 of it will) in summer heat. unless you water it regularly, and don't miss a time. Even then, the best results are in the fall!

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'd need to prune my house to get it much more sun -- hoosnowahokie 03/25/2022 11:43AM

One thing you could try is to install a trench drain across the driveway. -- MP4VT2004 03/25/2022 5:26PM

I'm thinking that in hoosnowahokie's case... -- MP4VT2004 03/24/2022 9:39PM

..and shady areas like your back yard take less of a beating in summer sun! ** -- HOKIERIT 03/25/2022 4:17PM

That portion gets zero sun after 11:30am -- hoosnowahokie 03/24/2022 10:42PM

You probably could seed this spring, aerate too. Just go heavy in fall ** -- HOKIERIT 03/25/2022 4:19PM
