Hi everyone!<br>We live in Virgina and bought a house with a lawn in the back and in the front of the house. The house is about 20 years old and so is the lawn. Other than cutting the grass<br>we have not done anything to it and it looks pretty ugly. More weeds than grass by now.<br>Now we are getting ready to have a friend come up with a huge tiller on Sunday to till our lawn.<br>The friend says we need Scotts Turfbuilder,<br>Lime, Fescue 31 or Perennal Rye gras, Straw.<br>Now, my husband is going to get soil from a constructionsite for free. He calls it rich topsoil and insists that if we spread it on top of the lawn we do not need any fertilizer,<br>etc. in fact, he says it would hurt the lawn.<br>Maybe anyone out there can give me some advise. How deep should we till? Is the tilling going to destroy the old gras and weeds? How about the Turfbuilder?<br>I wanted to work a weed killer into the soil when tilling but now I fear that the gras will not grow when I do that. Is it too early to seed the lawn? We live in the shenandoah Valley. It can still drop below<br>32 at night and sometimes we get icerain<br>in March. Thanks for all your help.<br>I really appreciate it.<br>
