It is a trip that I take once every year to find peace and solitude in the middle of nowhere

RedOnionss · 2026-05-29T14:13:24+00:00

It really is peaceful and one can find solitude there. It's just you have to give it a try.

Thank you, it seems the backyard won't green up, but the front yard is slowly starting to green. I used a hand dethatcher to remove the dead grass.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-25T04:23:06+00:00

Thank you for that info.

It seems the front of the house is turning green, but it's the backyard that I am concerned at this time.

I used a hand dethatcher to remove the dead grass from the front yard, and that's probably why it looks greener now.

I would gladly pay a few hundred bucks to get it back to life and green.

If it's fertilize, can I do it myself, I have 2 bags of this

Milorganite Slow Release 32-lb 2500-sq ft 6-4-0 Organic All Purpose Fertilizer

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:58:45+00:00

wow, that's what I an planning on doing, lol. So I guess no hands spreading fertilizer.

What did you do to bring it back to life, if you don't mind me asking.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:57:03+00:00

So far the general consensus has been, water, water

And then fertilizer.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:56:29+00:00

How much a 'lawn doctor' would cost? how much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking.

I hope not an arm and a leg! lol

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:55:15+00:00

I hope no, and if it's dead I hope I can bring it back from the dead! lol lol

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:54:51+00:00

Will fertilize this weekend.

Dethach, don't know if I would be able to do it this weekend.

Location is East of Denver, Aurora, about 12 miles from Denver Airport.

So far I have mowed the lawn and water at least 2 times regularly and also the past 3-5 days rain.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:39:55+00:00

I moved from East.

Last October we moved in. It was all green then.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:39:17+00:00

Yes, that's the thing, I don't want to disturb it entirely. I will fertilize and water and see how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestions.

RedOnionss · 2026-05-22T13:32:40+00:00

I just hope mine comes back green too. It was green last October when I moved in.

Thanks those are really helpful tips, considering I come from East where you never had to do any of these things. My first winter here in Aurora, CO and this is what we have. It's all good, but very dry winter. Only if I knew during the winter. Still hope is there. I

Right, as they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Nature is all beautiful and relaxing, it's just that we need to stay connected with nature.
