Grasss Help!!!

Not that kind you freaks.

It's too late for seed, isn't it? My lazy husband has decided to wait until now to do something about our dirt backyard. We were thinking laying sod but after measuring etc it looks like that'll run us upwards of $250 we don't have. We didn't move into this house until January so we couldn't lay seed in the fall and I had a baby in January so I couldn't do it in the spring (he couldn't either.... not sure why... the excuses are kinda rattling around in my head at this point.)

We need grass for our 4 year old so he doesn't spend all summer digging around in the dirt.

Suggestions?!

Dont waste your money on the seed now.
deal with the dirt and then seed in september

If you plant it now it will come up weak and the heat will not let the root system grow enough to make it through the summer.

We're hoping to leave in November so that won't do us any good either! :( I guess we're screwed then ah? He put rock down in half the yard so that's basically a waste now. I'm so mad I could barf right now.

what is the square footage of your yard?

Valarocque · 06-07-2008, 02:35 PM

It's only about 335 sq feet but sod is $5 a roll at meadow farms.

Call Central Sod and find out where the closest location to you is.
When I was doing landscaping I was buying sod (just last year) for .18 a square foot.

or, figure out a reasonable size area to make for the child to play and then sod just a smaller area.
