Matt's Blog: 07-02-2012 Co-op

This client wanted the patches of grass removed and replaced with a different type of grass. *Excuse* my thumb in the upper left hand corner! haha.

Lots of sand and gravel under the original grass. It was actually more work than it looks. I had to haul all of it away in buckets up and down a steep driveway.

After I removed all of the turf, I brought in some fresh soil. It was a workout, but I got it done.

Planting the grass. I was to plant them in rows of 7 and make them as straight and even as possible. After finishing one section I summoned the boss to make sure it was what he wanted and to my surprise, it was NOT. I had to pull up all the grasses and start over. At first i thought he was pulling my leg, but he was dead serious. He wanted them planted flush with the concrete, not mounded like I had them. Hey, that's what a co-op is for, right?!

Final. It actually took longer than i thought it would. It will be nice once the grass grows and fills in. Honestly, i'm not a big fan of the grass here, but it's what the client wanted and that's all that matters.

Clients backyard. She has a beautiful garden.

Getting things all leveled up. She wanted artificial turf installed on her back patio. It seems that is the way to go! Low maintenance, but very pricey!
