First time home owner North Texas

Just showing off!

I had no clue what i was doing but it worked out!

I started with a jungle of weeds and somehow 0 grass. No clue what the previous owners were doing.

I cut the tree back for sunligh, hand pulled the weeds, rented a tiller, brought in some topsoil (only 1/2 a yard to help level things out)

Threw down some black beauty heat and drought (tall fescue and texas bluegrass) that i pre germinated, raked it in and watered a bunch.

Had some good Ole texas downpours that washed out some of my seed but I just reseeded and kept watering.

The last Pic is after its first mow which was 5 weeks after seeding.

Hardest part was walking the dogs every time instead of just letting them out back lol.
