When you have a weedy and unattractive lawn with different grasses wanted and unwanted growing the best thing to do is to kill the whole lawn with roundup grass and weed killer and start over. Once the lawn is dead you want to rent an overseeder machine with blades in the front to cut through the thatch down to the underlying soil with a seed hopper on the back of the machine which has seed feeders that run down discs that run directly into the slices cut from the front blades down to the soil below. You must crisscross your passes to seed thoroughly. spread starter fertilizer, lime and gypsum over the whole lawn after.

Please read my comments on the pictures I post.

I am still figuring out how to post the pictures and put my commentary so that it appears with the picture. The way I've been doing it so far is the comment has to be clicked on where it says comments under the picture. I will try to fix this.

I am a big fan of paver brick walkways and patios. I will show you an example of a circle pattern paver brick dry patio done similarly. Their are different styles, colors, and textures. I will show you many of them.
