Lawn is mostly weeds - fix on limited $ ??
My son bought his first house. It's in western Michigan, zone 5. The back yard "lawn" is mostly weeds, although there is some grass of some type in there. But I'd say it's 75% weeds.
He doesn't need a lush, perfect lawn, but would like something that at least says "grass" vs. "weeds" when you look at it from a distance. He has plenty of other places to spend cash, so would prefer to keep cost to a minimum.
It's not a huge yard, so he could rototiller it himself. Soil in most places seems to be an orange somewhat clay soil (but not sticky/hard).
Any recommendations? Thank you!
