I need to do this, but with my knee, I think I need to pay someone to do it. Are you doing it by hand? Like a roller spreader or hand spreader? -- nm - sycor Aug 26, 09:29 1
- Roller. I linked it in one of the comments below. First time so I have no idea if it is going to work - oblique Aug 26, 09:31
What are you doing? -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:21 9
- Putting a 1/4" of sand/soil mix on our entire yard (8000 sq. ft. in the backyard alone - smaller front + some low spots get extra). Then - oblique Aug 26, 06:26 8
  - Best of luck with the project and I hope you end up loving your new grass. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:29 7
    - If this doesn't work, I'm going to let the clover win. Figured it was worth a shot since I want to try to level out the worst parts of the yard - oblique Aug 26, 06:30 6
      - Is the yard lumpy or uneven with slopes? Can't hurt to try and get the grass you want but I think the clovers look just fine. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:40 5
        
        I really like a clover/grass mix myself. Clover doesn’t grow much taller than grass, and stays greener in droughts. -- nm - mara Aug 26, 08:58 2
        
        I'm hoping that's what I end up with overall -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 09:02
        
        yup -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:00
        
        Yeah, it's like the surface of the moon -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:17 1
        
        Heh. :-) I hope this works out how you planned and you can enjoy a nice and level yard for years to come. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 26, 07:24
Mirey once bought 2 cubic metres at our old house where there were only 3 raised beds. Took years to get through it. - mafic Aug 26, 06:19 1
- It's going to be a brutal weekend with the wheelbarrow. It's all downhill to get into the backyard (walkout). Bought one of these to spread it -- (link*) - oblique Aug 26, 06:27
