The previous owners of our house had dogs. Anyone who’s ever had a dog knows that they leave hard-trodden trails that usually lead from the back door to various views through the fence. Well, our back yard was one huge dirt trail. The erosion was so bad, and the grass was so sparse, that any trip to the backyard resulted in red footprints throughout our house. So when we dug out the beds for our garden, I spread the leftover soil around the worst parts of the yard and dropped some grass seed.
This is what it looked like last Spring.
