Unable to grow grass on heavy red clay soil despite multiple attempts including tilling, seeding, aeration, hay covering, and hydroseeding over 2-3 years.

Existing solutions are not designed for extreme clay soil conditions, lack of soil testing, and poor contractor work; no integrated, step-by-step guidance on soil remediation and appropriate seed selection for red clay.
