Yes, I have seeded a lawn before. You first must get your property graded if it isn't already. The grading is imperative for water runoff. Next, you should call a company that sells topsoil, and tell them the size of your lot (or the size of the area that you will seed). You'll need about two inches of topsoil, and they will bring it by truck and dump it where you want it. Next, you should use a landscape rake to even out the topsoil (it's a very wide rake with short tines). After the topsoil has been spread out evenly, buy some grass seed. Purchase seed for full sun if you have full sun, or grass seed for shade if you have more shade. If your property is divided, and perhaps you have shade on one side but full sun on the other, then buy two different types of grass seed, but make sure that they're as similar as possible. Don't buy a grass seed that will produce a tall, broad blade and also buy a seed that will produce a short, narrow blade! You will need a broadcast spreader if you will be seeding a large area. If you only need to seed about 50 feet by 50 feet or less, then don't bother buying a broadcast spreader. If you decide you do need a broadcast spreader, follow the instructions that come with it. It's really easy. What you will need the seed to look like on the soil, whether you have spread the seeds by hand or used a broadcast spreader, is basically bland meat that needs a lot of salt and pepper. :o) So imagine the soil is the meat, and the seeds are the salt and pepper. You don't want to cover it solidly, but you also don't want too little. Lastly, you need to spread straw over all of the seed; don't cover it all up, though. This will prevent birds from eating your seeds. Make sure the seeds have a consistant source of water!!!!! If you have a large area (more than a half of an acre), this will be difficult unless you've purchased an underground sprinkler system. You can do it, but you must stay on top of it. If you only have a few above-ground sprinklers attached to your garden hose, you will need to move them every hour or so, and this watering process will take a few weeks. Good luck!

Answer 3

Not an easy task, but probably well worth the effort.
1) Hire a skip
2) shovel all rubble into said skip
3) Spread a layer of decent quality soil
4) Lay turf accross area you want to grass
5) Water and give TLC until it takes to root
6) Add garden gnome to keep lookout (optional)
7) Spread towel, add sun tan lotion, beer and music, and enjoy your new garden

Answer 4

Shure, it takes work, but take a shovel and push the rubel aside, also use a rake and hoe. Put in a wheel barrow and ship it off to somewhere else. Get a dirt tiller like the Garden Weesel or something else to fluff up the dirt. Go buy some grass seeds if your whilling to wait or buy the rolls of pre-gron grass (it's like a grass carpet) and put ontop of the dirt.

Answer 5

first hire a skip get rid of all your rubble and anything else if your garden is overgrown or got weeds get some round up and kill that off while you are at it then order some top soil level out your garden so that it is level and then get some seed follow instuctions. or you could use turf its instant
