Yard Guys- How do you Prep for Grass?

The area we're working with is around 70' x 40'.

That's not bad. If you could get it tilled for say 250.00 (less would be better, lol), youz two do the labor of the raking and pickup, have someone drag it for say a 100.00 bucks, then hydro-seed it (last I knew it was around .20 cents a sq ft) 2800 x .20.....560 bucks.

Roughly a thousand bucks maybe? You'd have a nice yard.

My buddy down the road did his in that manner a few years ago and his yard is nice and flat and beautiful green, weed free in the summer.
