I have several sections of my yard in MA that have been neglected and are heavily overgrown with weeds, small woody brush, etc. In the summer the growth is 3' tall or so and very thick; in the winter it dies down and leaves vines and small woody growth. I don't need more grass in my yard but I would like to convert this to something that looks nicer, is less wild, and that I can maintain easily. Could I clear the brush, mow everything down a few times over the spring, and seed with a wild grass or something that will look more uniform and be low maintenance (maybe a few mows a year)? Would I need to really kill everything that's there with glysophate or solarizing or could I just try to mow down what's there and till/add some topsoil and seed with something new?
