filling in the yard

About five years ago, we bought some stone to become the new walkway. It sat there killing the grass until I just couldn't stand looking at it anymore. I moved the stone to the side yard and thought I'll just wait for the grass to grow from one edge to the other. Mrs. Berkeley couldn't stand loooking at it, so she filled her Suburban with dirt and grass seed from Lowe's and put her landscape architecture Master's Degree to work. I am on watering duty. I have sworn to water every morning and every night for no less than 15 minutes. Failure to do so is grounds for divorce.
