How can I grow grass and other plants on my lawn?

You may need to have your soil analysed to see if there is anything from preventing growth. Is there any possibility of some kind of contamination from a chemical?

Or you maybe trying to grow grass underneath pine trees. If this is the case, perhaps your local nursery could help you with your selection of grass seeds. Take pictures of the area where you plant your lawn with you when you go to the nursery.
