In the back yard there were some HUGE dips and sags in the soil which made the area look like a small association of rolling hills. Additionally the blue stone which the property sits on was poking up through certain areas. This last weekend I ordered 5 cubic yards of topsoil and we filled in the holes quite a bit and planted new grass for that area. We tried something different with this area, getting seed germinating mats made out of some kind of wood fiber. We’re going to see how those work out for their intended purpose. The mats are biodegradable so you don’t have to rake them out of the lawn, and the stakes are also biodegradable.
Here’s the view from ‘street side’ look back into the back yard.

Here’s a view of the same area looking from the barn towards the planter.

Here’s how it looks with the mat installed.
