Over the weekend, I tore out this old bark that was in a planting strip along the front of our front yard. It took hours to get that little strip leveled and planted with grass seed. Granted, we do live along a sidewalk that is walked on throughout the day. But, when I left for work today, I saw footprints, both dog and human in that same dirt I had just planted. I came home from work today to find even more footprints in the dirt, all along the front of the front lawn by the sidewalk. Have a little respect people!!! What gives you the right to walk all over what someone else has planted? How would you feel if I trampled all through your flower garden after you had spent hours tilling the soil and planting the flowers? You would be upset. Now you know how I feel. I could understand if the sidewalk was narrow and really busy, but that is not the case at all. The sidewalk, in addition to the level rocks by it, is at least 5 feet wide. Please keep off the new grass. I don't think there is damage to the seed, but if the soil gets too trampled, it will get uneven and not level at all, making it impossible to mow. It also won't look level with the rest of the yard. Have a little respect for other people's property. You would expect them to do the same.
