My neighbor's yards look fine.

I am on the new Street of Dreams - this isn't normal, right?
No..it is not normal. I live on Truax Loop (behind the street of dreams) and we (yes--several neighbors have noticed it) that the yellow grass and weeds on the SOD homes are abominable. We have also complained the lawns and yards behind the SOD homes are weed and TRASH infested--mostly with bottle caps from the water they hand out at the SOD!

I heard Massey was replaced due to the condition of those SOD homes. You can just look at the other homes in the area to see this is NOT normal.

Many of the lawns are yellow with intermittent pops of green weeds. This is NOT normal.

Complain.... and complain about all those dead trees too!
