I purchased my home in March of last year. It was a foreclosure and the front yard was mostly weeds, dirt, and had suffered from a lot of erosion as a result. At first I hired a lawn care company but wasn't seeing any results so I got rid of them. I knew that most of the bermuda was salvageable but not all of it. I ended up putting some sod down where it was apparent that no grass existed. Then I found this forum and the Bermuda Bible. I wish I had found the forum SOONER because I made the mistake of tilling the area where I put the sod. As a result I will need to level the yard in the future to correct this. Live and learn.

Here is how the yard looked in April 2012:
