Kansas, Zone 6B
We bought our house several years ago, and the previous owner was an older lady whose husband had passed away recently.
They both shared a love for flowers, plants, bushes, trees, etc, but it had become woefully overgrown since they were no longer able to care for the lawn.
My neighbor to the south had recently, before we moved in, did a complete renovation and installed underground sprinkler system. He also was a commercial mower dealer… so needless to say, he was (and still does!) have the nicest lawn on the block. This provided some motivation.
This is my wife and I's 4+ year journey to try to grow nice grass, after having zero previous experience or knowledge.
The front yard was a mix of K31 and a patch of Zoysia that I didn't know what it was until it started growing out of control. It actually was quite nice, as the previous owner had paid a company to spray stuff on it.
The backyard was a mixture of K31, meadow mix, and every number of weed you can imagine.
Front yard- 2,700 sq ft
Back yard- 10,000 sq ft
