I am planning to purchase a brownstone within the next year or so. My family is very intent upon having a back yard that can be laid with true grass for our kids and dog. Most of what I see out there is either concrete covering the entire yard (I’m aware of leakage into basement issues that this helps avoid) or stone work with plantings. I see alot of plain dirt with moss as well. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s even possible to have a healthy lawn. The back yard is on the south side of the building i’m looking at now, gets some good light, but certainly not for too many hours. Any help on this issue would help me address this with my family and we thank you in advance!
