Looking for a yard/woods grass that fits these criteria:

[cbelt3]

Are you able to mow the area ? You can 'prep' by scalping down to the lowest level with a mower, bagging the debris or just scattering it on the yard. If you want to grow grass on top of the pine needles you will have to dump a lot of lime on the soil.... pine trees 'self mulch' by dropping very acidic needles that kill off undergrowth.

I handled the same situation at my inlaws house after we had to take down a couple of pine trees.
