Yard Guys- How do you Prep for Grass?

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.

I would do that, for sure. Then we can claim we did "a lot" of it ourselves. Cleaning out the dirt is grunt work, but I like it. The rest of the backyard and the front yard greens up nice in the summer. We had to put the sprinkler on it this past summer during a dry spell. Damn, this winter has been very rainy (was going to say wet, but Karl is watching, lol). Last year was the second wettest on record for Georgia, but most of it came in the fall and winter.

I'm not a keep up with Jones's kind of guy but the guy next door is a Fireman and has plenty of time to work on his lawn. His front lawn looks like a dang golf green. Maybe just slightly nicer looking than TMM's. :poke:. Seriously, though, I want to get the backyard looking better. This will be our third summer in the house and I have plans for a deck, and already have a fire pit, a hammock, and horseshoes just waiting for Spring.
