Help, how do I damage control and how do I turn this around?
First timer, I know I screwed a few things up out of the gate but I was rushed and now I’m here so hopefully I can get some advice on next steps…
Background: located in Ontario, just outside GTA.
Had my yard all torn up for a new garage build. Had free fill brought in to level the yard ( likely first mistake). Then screened top soil. This brought me to first week of June where I just wanted to get some grass so the kids had something to play on this summer. Seeded with “kickass” grass seed? From local supplier and starter fertilizer. I had a good suspicion the first big rainfall on day 3 or 4 washed away a bunch of seed. Wasn’t sure on walking all over to reseed so I waited till week 3-1/2 when I really could see the bare spots and how thin it was coming in. I was pretty anal on watering twice a day and covering all areas with extra hoses till about week 5.
I’m now headed into week 6. The photo looks dry because I held off on the watering the last 2 days as we had a huge rainfall and it seemed saturated. My bigger concern is the amount of weeds around the perimeter and lack of green grass fullness…
At this point rolling into the second week of July what should I be doing to save this if I can?
