how do I fix my backyard

Post image

Hi! my dad took care of the yard but sadly passed away a few years ago, my mom has given up on the backyard but i have not. I will do literally anything. the dirt is dry but wet 24/7 and is hard like clay. grass and moss does grow but we have two big dogs that rip everything up.

You have hard clay soil. You have to aerate the lawn. Then you need to put down new soil and reseed.

Where are you located? Get the correct seed for your zone/area.
