Thank you, I’m purchasing a 2.5 acre ranch, I want to put grass on .5 of an acre. I’m in Palm Springs, CA so I will try this out.

I currently have very sandy soil which is constantly covered with pine needles.there was grass at one point but has slowly disappeared in the last four years. I am not sure how all these pine needles affect the soil, and want to get the grass back in this area. The sun is on the area about five hours before it becomes shaded. This area is located in North eastern Massachusetts. Any advice???? Thank you.

I live in Northwest Indiana and have nothing but sandy soil with lots of full sun. I have never been able to grow any grass. Do you have any suggestions for a grass that will grow in sandy soil and full sun. I do not have a good way to water the seed/grass. Finally, if you are able to recommend a good grass that will grow given my sandy soil, do you recommend spreading it in the spring or fall? I’m tired of mowing nothing but weeds and bare land. Thank you for you guidance.

Frustrated,

To plant grass seed

Lived inn this house for over 40 years in Charleston,SC.
we have an automatic sprinkling system so we tried water.
We also have a very large Live oak with old large azaleas which takes up the large part of the yard. The other problem we have is moles. WE have tried Bermuda grass at least 5 times. Recently I bough small azaleas along the outside border along the driveway. Now I am wanting to fill about 2 feet of sandy soil in front of flower bed. I thought of pavers. It also has to take a lot of raking and leaves because the leaves fall sept until April. Any ideas?

Temps run: lows Oct thru Mar are between 23-43 degrees Fahrenheit; Apr thru Sept run between 40-63 degrees Fahrenheit. The highs run: Oct-Mar run 49-64 degrees Fahrenheit; Apr thru Sept 73-95 degrees Fahrenheit .

I live in the Texas Hill Country. I am wanting to know what would be the best grass to grow in soil that is mostly Garnet gravel.. the weeds flourish, but I want to cover my yard with a drought resistance grass and intend to start with seed.. I could also use any information on how to prepare my yard for the best possible (grass) growth.. winter temp’s can fall to the teens (at times) and summer temp’s between 90 and 100 (in late June, July, August and early September). I am 70 years old and will be doing the work myself, this may be a challenge for me but I love to work..
