question for the land scrapers

[Goose]

There is sod for shade, not sure on prices but I'll look into it and let you know.

thanks guys

Nebe, what you have isn't "shade" as much as "deep, deep jungle".

Either cut down 1/2 your trees or use some ground cover. I'd also wonder what the impact of all those leaves would be as well.

Price will depend on wether or not you install it. I'd say anywhere from 20 to 35 cents a sq'. You will get your best price from one of the smaller guys in so.co. Installing is easy buy some beer, get a couple buds and have it done in two days tops depending on how big of an area. Turf is very high maintenance, do you have a well or town water, It will require an inch of water a week and will take probably two years to be established. You can always grow your own too. URI seed will give you a very thick lush lawn and has the same three grasses in it, Rye,fescue and blue.

hmm good ponts saxatllus. i considered growing my own and will try that in some parts of my yard, but there are other parts that i need insta-grass so my kid can play on right away-...

heres where i am at this point- the foreground is where i want to lay sod down and the hill in the background will get seed. I suspect i have to lay some loam down first before i lay the sod... that dirt is full of roots and rocks. trees to the left of the Pic are getting cut down and I also have to dig a trench for that gutter pipe.

ahh the joys of home ownership

It never ends dude. Make sure you have at least 6" of topsoil for that sod to take. There's a guy on great swamp monument rd off of rt 2, that has probably the best price around.
