On closing day we signed billions of papers for the house. The only paper that freaked us out was one from our HOA stating that we needed to have the trash picked up, yard weeded and in a "growing state" by May 15th.
We closed on April 20th and didn't even move in until April 23rd, so that would mean they were giving us about 3 weeks to improve something that another family took years to ruin. We have friendly neighbors, but they are extra friendly every time they see me weeding, watering, fertilizing, raking, seeding, cutting bushes, etc. Apparently the old owners had done nothing for years on the front or back yard, except let their dog use it as a toilet.
So, I know it has a LONG way to go, but I have a before and after pic of the yard, as of today, May 13th. I hope they see that I have done A LOT of work, even though it looks quite scraggly still!
Hopefully this is proof enough that we will pass with flying colors to the HOA....we'll see!?!?! What do you think? Also, any tips on getting those patches of brown? Any ideas would be wonderful!

Hey homeowners! :) Whatever you do...don't throw down random seed. You may end up with two colors of grass. Our neigbor told us to do that...I think he sabotaged our lawn...because his looks incredible. Haha. We hope you LOVE your new place!
You guys are doing a GREAT JOB!!! Love the improvement!! Dont you feel sooo much better??
Wow! That is amazing! I'd say you have done an amazing job in a very little amount of time. Definitely in a growing state in my book. ;-) miss ya!
