The Back Lawn

After we purchased the house, we quickly decided that the back lawn would need to be re-done at some point. We completely overhauled the front lawn in October of 2002. The original plan was to re-seed the back lawn in the spring of 2003. So, in May 2003 we sprayed out all the grass, but then didn't have enough time to complete the project before warm weather set in. Finally, in September '03, we have the moderate weather and the time to complete the project.
