After I moved into my dream house I eventually turned my attention to the yard. My wife and I bought bushes and trees. My job was to plant all the bushes and trees. My concern on how hard it was to plant the bushes and trees was no an issue. Dig the holes and add some root grow.The hardest job was the lawn. The land was sterile. Hard packed clay and rye. I tried the granular products from home depot for years and with that purchase came a lot of work and constant watering. Three years ago I found Natures Lawn. I first year applied Aerify Plus and Biological Dethatcher as recommended I had to loosen up the soil. For the next 2 years I applied the same but with the addition of Lawn Force 5. Today is the beginning of the 4th year and the thatch is under control and rain water can now enter into the soil.In closing I would like to add my personal opinion. If you choose Natures Lawn you will spend less money and time maintaining your lawn once you have it a established.
