My MIL has a side yard totally shaded out by some small Norway maples that got out of hand –
Did some pruning to more sun , added some lime for ph during aeration , followed by scarification to smooth out / loosen the top soil. Added no topsoil as organic matter was shown to be acceptable from soil test.
Seed and starter fert, raked and rolled it in. Nothing added on top.
Pictures are 5 weeks apart – used Twin City shade blend.

Looks like you gotta do the right side too now
Awesome work! Appreciate you pruning the trees to maintain the privacy instead of cutting them down.

“A lawn, if you can keep it.”
Looks better than the rest of your yard
Good job on getting rid of all that crab apple grass. Watch out for that poa annua now.
