Any suggestions or ideas on how to transform the dead grass in our very shady backyard into something more beneficial? This is in eastern PA near Philadelphia, facing east, so the area doesn't get a lot of sun. The grass under the large oak tree struggles in some spots more than others, as seen in the photo.
We primarily just use our backyard for hanging out, and we don't need a lot of space, so we're open to any and all options on how to turn this from dead dry grass into…something else.
Is it worth trying to plant anything in the ground there, or are we better off mulching and putting something raised on top? Any advice or thoughts are appreciated!
