I wiped out my lawn with round up and purchased a good quality grass seed,had the soil tested and watered twice a day. It turned out better than I expected. I mowed the grass today and it is so thick and green I can't believe it only took 6 weeks.

I get many compliments about how green it looks and healthy. I have neighbors asking what brand of seed I used. I tell them oh just some cheap big box store brand.

Thanks for all your advice,I finally got the lawn i been after for years.
