My township replaced the sidewalk and curb in front of my house last year. They then threw some kind of grass seed on the easement strip that had been torn up. It now grows like this, with patches of ugly, thick, tall grass. It grows extremely fast in these patches (this is 6 days of growth), and is bare or dead looking elsewhere. How should I best remedy this, preferably without having to dig everything up? I'm somewhat grass illiterate but trying to keep my property looking nice. This is in NJ, so warm summers and cold winters if that matters. Thank you!
