recently moved and inherited front yard cemetery vision Lol. 8ft by 8 ft square lot with no grass only weeds. This lot had a tree stump. We removed it. Around the perimeter is a layer of red brick atop layer of gray interlock. Hence grave site look. What can I do to rid this. Is laying new grass too late seasonal

Plant grass and a couple of crepe myrtle trees
Hello John, It may be too late to put seed down but it is not too late to put sod in. Sod requires water. A lot of water. You have to keep it soaked for the grass roots to take hold. I would pull all the weeds out first and then lay sod down. When you put sod down, you should stagger it. You may have to cut a few pieces to create a staggered installation. If you put a tree in, you could give it a nice boarder with those red bricks. I would put the interlock pavers around the front of your house to make a flower bed. I hope this helps you. Good luck.
Unless you get a very early cold snap fall is a good time to put new grass-follow instructions regarding watering
If that dirt is hard packed, I would water the heck out of it and run a rototiller over it, then rake it, and get some good soil delivered before putting that sod down.
