Standard practice is to kill everything in the yard twice over with glyphosate.

Then seed, then keep the area damp for about two weeks (see YouTube. Seeding is a process).

You’ll have new weeds along with healthy grass at which point you will spray the weeds with something like Celsius, a selective herbicide (won’t kill most turf grasses).

But the most important questions are:
- where are you located?
- how much sun does your yard get?

Did you have a certain grass type in mind? Seeding as opposed to sodding will limit you.

Birmingham, AL.

Not a lot of sunlight, no. Sun travels behind the house and we’re on a hill with trees in the backyard. There’s also two large water oaks in the front.

Don’t care about what kind of grass. The grass that’s thriving looks to be zoysia and bermuda.

I’m not looking for a presentation yard. Just something for the kids to play on that isn’t mostly dirt and roots.
