Satisfied at the beach
It's been a good year here rebuilding my lawn. Pics are from April and July. Sunday is much easier than pellet spreaders, and I'm happy with the results.

Lawn by the sea—
Our lawn soil is extremely sandy (approximately 300 yards from the Atlantic Ocean). The previous owners of the house had left the irrigation off for years and our grass was weedy and mostly dead when we moved in. It's difficult to grow grass living so close to the ocean, but Sundays plan and daily watering have turned our lawn around. Still work to do, but looking better.
