Please help us transform our embarrassing yard
Our yard is embarrassing and frustrates me to even look out the window. We need help! We’ve had 2 landscaping companies ghost us so at this point we’re committing to the sweat equity DIY style on a somewhat limited budget.
It’s shady and wet. It stays pretty muddy after it rains.
We’d love grass, but not sure how well it will grow due to the shade and the traffic of our dog. We’ve discussed sod, but don’t think it’s feasible to have the dog stay off for the required amount of time and don’t want to spend the money if it’s going to fail. The left patch of grass is sparse at best and is the result of some grass seed put down this spring.
Do we need to do something about the drainage? What can we plant other than grass for ground cover so we aren’t constantly dragging mud into the house? Will anything grow at all? We have some hostas, ferns, and flowers on the left (I don’t recall what type of flowers, spouse picked them out) that are seeming to do okay. I’m having trouble visualizing anything different than it currently is. We’re in zone 6b according to Google. Photo was taken around 4 pm.
Please somebody suggest something, I need to do something before I sell the damn house to escape the yard
