The existing grass should grow up through the soil and enjoy the nutrients, but plant some new seed as well if you like..Embrace a multi-species philospophy.
By multi-species, I mean lots of different kinds of plants in your lawn.And by native plants, I mean weeds.This is a lawn philosophy that’s being adopted more and more by modern gardeners and landscape designers lately and that’s because it really works.
Weeds have the ability to tolerate and thrive in the exact kind of climate you live in as they’re completely native and designed exactly for where you live.They stay green almost no matter what and, while they may seem unsightly on smaller city lots, they really aren’t that noticeable when they’re filling in the blanks in a large field-like setting.
Well, except for those 2 weeks a year when the dandelions are in bloom, but other than that, it’s green city.

The first thing I did was paint out all the trim and panelling again on this wall.It took about 3 coats and soon it was really starting to feel like a whole new world in here.
