Hrm, I just bought my house and have never really known lawn care beyond mowing my parents' place. I know it needs work since some of it's dirt when the fix-and-flipper replaced some concrete or other building bits, and the backyard's uneven (and has some strange grasses from the look of it), and I know I'm wanting to try to fix it a bit nicer. This thread will be handy for that. I might post pics to get input later this weekend.

(Ah the joys of being a new homeowner).
