I have a depressingly destroyed lawn. Partly dog damage, partly lack of care.

Its mostly buffalo, but some couch self seeded and grows better than the buffalo does, so i’m inclined to leave it and let the two types grow where they like it most. Is this a good idea?

We are thinking to get some top soil, but don’t know what time of year to put it on.

We also need to replace the sprinklers, but i haven’t really found a type/brand that i’m happy with yet.

Any ideas and advice anybody has would be greatly appreciated!

    Cannot wait for all the anti-lawn people to appear and start shitting on you for wanting a lawn.

      Have you ever wondered the reasons “anti-lawn people” have against lawns?

          It is. It’s also their right to drive a big truck and leave their lights on at night.

          It’s also everybody elses right to tell them they shouldn’t do it.

            Having a lawn is not nearly on the same level as having your lights on at night

              You are right. It’s actually worse. Especially in dry areas.

      Nah they’re all on [email protected] and https://www.reddit.com/r/fucklawns/

      In all seriousness, if you want a lawn, have a lawn. I prefer less lawns and more gardens personally. It’s way less maintenance and better for the environment, but I also get people having pets, children, hobbies that require a lawn etc.

      Also culture wars kinda suck.
