We're doing some work on our new house and I'm struggling to figure out something with the backyard. It's mostly dirt and gravel right now. We have a septic tank riser in the middle of the yard. In picture 2 (ignore the fire drum, it is no longer there), we plan on opening up the fence to expand into the side yard so Stormie (in picture 1) can have more room to run around. I think it would be nice to have some sort of walkway from the deck to the fence gate. I'm not really a gardener, but I'm sure I could keep a few plants alive if I put some back here. We are wanting some grass, but I wonder if it's best to go the sod route. There will be plenty of grass when the fence is opened up. Any advice and ideas are welcome!

Why is there nothing growing there now? Shade? Did you regrade it recently?
If shade, moving the fence isnt likely going to help much. You might look into shade gardening and covering the area with wood chips or mulch.
