Pine removed, grass failed from needle acidity. Key: remove EVERY root and trunk piece. Lignin (tough wood polymer) takes decades to rot—only white-rot fungi break it down, need oxygen, moisture, heat, nitrogen.
Don’t bury stumps—slows rot. Compost needles (pH 6.5 when done). Soil test via United Horticultural Supply (Tucson). Wait for results, then plant. Great soil = great grass.
