Somewhere between Gardening and Tellvoat is an appropriate sub for talking about the work we do on our yards. Worked your ass off all day in the yard? Post a photo or talk about it here.
Fun new summer project: I live on an old property with strange property lines. Between my house and our nearest neighbor is a very old easement. It’s an unused eyesore that disrupts what could otherwise be a beautiful lawn between the two properties and a potential section where I can plant a few spruce trees - which would establish more privacy from the road.
I have a pickaxe and looks like, with enough time, I can tear up the old easement. Going to recess it back about 10 - 15 yards. However, I’ll be left with a shallow rocky pit once it’s all torn up. What’s the best course of action for getting top soil. Is this something I can outsource to a landscaping company? Never done anything like this. What’s the best way to turn it into lawn?
