My mom has finally decided to let me re-do her yard, and one of the big problems is our lawn. The grass is yellow and dead, and the dirt underneath is as hard as a rock. What is the best way to remove the grass and soften the dirt so I dont have to work for hours just shoveling one area? The lawn is about 15×15 ft. Are there special chemicals I can use that won’t destroy the plants I plan to put in the lawn’s place? Any unusual ways to get rid of the lawn easily and soften the underlying ground?
