Large area in my front yard where grass won’t grow.
+6
There is a huge rock underneath this burned out area and I’ve given up on adding dirt every year trying to get grass to grow. What else can I do with this area?
Add more rocks and turn into rock garden.
Make a raised flower bed.
Reveal the rock
All the above!
Hi Colin, Sometimes it seems impossible to get grass growing in unfavorable areas—is quite a frustrating experience.
I would consider installing a mulched area in that spot and consider landscaping and decorating that. We had to do this mulching under cedar trees where grass growing was quite impossible.
I totally get it and it can be so frustrating. I did find an article that might help you problem solve what might be happening - https://www.todayshomeowner.com/how-to-identify-the-cause-of-brown-spots-in-your-lawn/
If you don't want to try any more a river rock bed path might be really nice there.
It looks like a cool spot to put edging around and fill in with landscaping, mulch or rocks!
Make a pond or Rockery etc. Make a paved area and set aa Bird bath or ornament = Old Plough?
Dry creek bed.
Decorate with more large rocks.
Do something other then grass.
Some people for less maintance put down colored rock (we had a 10 strip of white rock with a 10 strip of red rock in our front yard whenre I grew up.
