My lawn needs to be replaced. It hasn't been maintained really and hasn't been ariated/tilled in like 20 years.. What I intend to do is start from scratch.. I don't really know anything about lawn care/maintance - other then how to mow it .. anyways, from what I know I am going to have to rent a power tiller and till the yard then do I put top soil on top and just spread the seed with some fertilizer and put some hay over it and make sure it stays watered? or is there more steps I am missing?? THANKS! BTW, I live in New Jersey - when is the best time to do all this? I Attached some pics of what it looks like now.. pretty sad, I know!
