Here are my Minnesota lawn renovation results! Before pics taken on 9/7 and after pics taken on 10/6. Really happy with the results so far and hoping the bare patches fill in with more tillering and KBG spread next year.
Front yard:
I started by killing my grassy weed filled lawn with glyphosate. After raking up as much of the dead grass as I could, I used a manual core aerator on it. Then I put down a ton of topsoil and leveled it all out. I put down Twin City Seed Blue Resilience and covered with some compost.
Back yard:
The grass was in better shape but had a bunch of low spots. I cut it really short, dethatched and aerated it and spread some topsoil to fill in the low spots. I put the same seed down and also covered with compost.

Looks great bud. I’m on day 10 and have insane germination. Makes the effort worth it a bit.
Beautiful! What fertilizer are you using?
how much water did you give it?
i just bought some seed from the garden center to fill in some bare spots and the guy told be to give it an hour every morning, but i’m seeing online that it should be multiple times a day with a shorter duration
