Hey, just wanted to thank the anonymous poster for leaving me a negative rep point and a rude comment. I guess you don't like beer? I'll buy you a "shirley temple" instead!  |

Too bad I don't have before pics of my lawn from last week, rather, my clay. My backyard was solid dirt, and it's a BIG backyard. Front looked about like your worst pics.

My looks like that. Maybe worse actually. Is it a bad time to have a sprinkler system installed?

No, its actually a very good time. You can then overseed where the trenches are dug (assuming you don't pay extra to have the pipes pulled through), and keep the seed moist so that it germinates.
But (and this is a big but), a sprinkler system is not going to help a whole lot until the drought ends, as there will be severe watering restrictions in place until it does. It does help some, though, as it automates the watering if/when you are allowed to do it. |
