question for the land scrapers

[Nebe]

how much does sod go for per square foot?? Also, can you get it for different light levels?? My yard has multiple huge oak trees, so its pretty shady.

[Swimmer]

Thats an interesting question about light levels and buying sod. Never thought of that before. All the sod I see is grown in sunny areas in East Bridgewater. I will ask those who know and if on Tuesday I run into Cam Woodard the sod farmer I'll ask him personally for you Nebe.

There is sod for shade, not sure on prices but I'll look into it and let you know.

[Nebe]

thanks guys

Nebe, what you have isn't "shade" as much as "deep, deep jungle".

Either cut down 1/2 your trees or use some ground cover. I'd also wonder what the impact of all those leaves would be as well.

come rake for a day and you will quickly learn the impact of all those leaves

Price will depend on wether or not you install it. I'd say anywhere from 20 to 35 cents a sq'. You will get your best price from one of the smaller guys in so.co. Installing is easy buy some beer, get a couple buds and have it done in two days tops depending on how big of an area. Turf is very high maintenance, do you have a well or town water, It will require an inch of water a week and will take probably two years to be established. You can always grow your own too. URI seed will give you a very thick lush lawn and has the same three grasses in it, Rye,fescue and blue.

ohhh a arborist's faux pas.

Nebe,you can have that area hydroseeded and be mowing it in 4 weeks for a fraction of the cost.Any Lesco shade mix will work just fine.Six inches would be another waste,looks like you already have loam although it's mixed with roots,just cover it and get a bobcat with a rockhound to grade it out and spray the next day.Now is the time of year to do this,less watering.My youngest is 20 months and every day gets wilder.The oldest turned nine in february and for his b-day got his first waders.At age 7 he caght a 23# soaking sandeels at R.P.
