I wish I had seen this thread earlier but I am also redoing our front lawn this year.

The old lawn wasn't terrible but it was a mix of grass, weeds and moss and I thought having a nice thick lawn would be an improvement.

I've been leaning on my dad's advice for this. Our method is not very complicated. Time will tell how successful this becomes.

Step 1 - Apply some weed killer and mossout to burn off as much weed/moss as possible.

Step 2 - Power rake the whole thing, then clean off the clippings.

Step 3 - Applied new soil on top. Ordered a couple yards from headwater. Shared with the neighbours.

Step 4 - Seed with Scott's Turf builder. Then apply Scott's lawn starter.

Step 5 - Water 2x per day. Always keep the soil wet.

Step 6 - Cross fingers and toes. If this fails, wife will be upset.
