Slanging Grass Project!

[igotaneed4speed]

Dont have much for before pictures but I have some afters lol


Tore the lawn out and old flower beds at the new house, brought in 20 yards of dirt, regraded, leveled and soded it all last week. Did 80% by myself and my buddy stopped by to lend a hand doing the inital tear out and rolling the sod.

Turned out pretty good and started a "movement" in the neighbor hood and have everyone fixing up there yards haha


Heres the only before I have right now but gives you a idea on the yards conditions previous...









And then the fun started with removing some pines that were growing into the power lines

Once the trees were out the fun started..



Tore out all the front old beds and etc.. lots of old stumps

 

[igotaneed4speed]

The started on the rear... Took out a old footer/foundation for a 16x10 shed

 

[igotaneed4speed]

Used 20 yards of top to bring grade back up to par, then set drainage etc...









3000sq of Sod from New Lawn @ a killer price!

 

[igotaneed4speed]

First piece down...




a lil more along with my buddy an a friend taking a break on the freshly rolled sod.



Landscape walls added along with my uncle removing some old sprinkle manual valve log



sod up to the walls




Front all cut in

 

[igotaneed4speed]

Cleaned up fence line and put up new fence an painted the poles...






Ill get a better pick of it all finished but you get the idea..

Removed 20 yards of crap, used every piece of sod from the 3000sq and still have to get more to finish the front after the cement guys wrap up the work to be done at the e.o.m. While waiting on the cement guys so I can finish the yard, I've been painting, refinishing floors, new trim, lighting, electrical etc.. on the inside.. I'll post a thread of that in lil while once its further along..

Wow! Nice work! I've been bordering our gardens with those landscape timbers like that. Lots of fun with the compound miter saw.

Looks good-now the real question-how big is the garage?! :lol:

 

[igotaneed4speed]

It has a attached 2 1/2 car with a carport and enough driveway to park the party in!

Going to redo the garage here soon once the weather warms up a lil more so the epoxy will stick the floor.



Plan on putting in a deck from the sliding door out the end of the wall on the house side and maybe moving my hot tub from my rents to here and building it into the deck.. on the fence about moving it thou, its heavy, bulky n a pia to move.

Great work, what does sod cost per sq foot?

I helped a buddy redo his yard one year. Those rolls of sod are heavy as hell. Took us two days to do a small front and back yard. That's a workout for sure. Looks GREAT, where is the neighborhood?

Looks good Derrick. That's definitely a lot of work, but well worth it. Like walking on new carpet.

As for the hot tub, I'm sure you can move that beast on your own. :lol:

Haha lots of fun for sure. I layed it out with a 8' radius and it looked ok, cut em all and layed them down and didnt like it. Ended up cutting them down to a 6' radius but of course i did 7.5, then 7 before i did the 6'.. It was alot of cut n place, remove cut re-do until I liked the look lol

looks 10x better.. nice work

Thanks Guys!

Great work, what does sod cost per sq foot?

I paid $0.16 per sq foot.

They priced it 2750 or < was 0.16 per sq. 2000-2750 was 0.20 per sq and 200 or less was 0.25 per sq.

Yeah there f'in heavy i lost 15 lbs that week lol

2000 - 2500lbs per pallet pending on thickness and if they were wet or not. Only about 50 rolls per pallet.. They were in the range of 40-65lbs a roll, nice work out carrying them f'ers around all day

 

[Scott714]

If that sod is wet it is HEAVY I used to deliver it and unload it and it was work.
