Asked April 28, 2019, 10:17 AM EDT
I have an area in my front yard (north facing) that the grass started thinning significantly about 5 years ago. The area is heavily shaded by two large maple trees. The yard was was first seeded in the early 1960’s and was fine until about 5 years ago. I have spent hundreds on high quality seed for the last three years but just can’t get anything to grow. Is there somewhere I can have my soil tested or a service that would come to my house to diagnose? I am noticing what looks like small areas of soil pushed up by some type of pest under the soil. Whatever is is, it’s much smaller than a mole path and these areas are random as opposed to a trail. I am very familiar with mole tunnels, and these are different.. The rest of my yard has no problem with growing lush grass. Just don’t know where to start?
Thanks, Tony
