Hi,

We are new home owners and do not have much idea on landscaping. Our front yard is overgrown and backyard with no grass, all moss, all pine needles covered.

We may not be able to spend time and effort this year as summer is at its end and next year I plan to hire professional for landscaping.

For this year and within couple weeks till fall, I am thinking to spread lime in the backend.

For front overgrown grass, just mow it our selves and trim the hedges and sides grass. Front grass is also not very uniform and we see bald spots. Then both front/back are sloppy but we may not level it in coming 1-2 years. We want to cut down few pine trees

for sun.

Do you have any suggestions with plants or grass or mowing?
