The dirt in our backyard is full of small rocks and has a clay-like texture to it. We decided to put a layer of nice fresh dirt on top of the lawn to hopefully give the seed something to help it grow quickly! 
Ready to work!
James did most of the work with the wheelbarrow, but I helped out raking the dirt smooth for a good amount of the almost 4hrs. it took to cover our whole back and side yard!
James then put new seed all over! We used a bluegrass/fescue mix. Not sure what exactly that means, but apparently it should make a nice lawn :)
The last step involved this:
We covered the whole lawn in hay which is said to help keep the dirt and seed in place when it rains.
Hopefully we will have plush green grass growing in the back before we know it. If only it can look as good as our front lawn, which James had to cut yesterday!
