Turf

[Kevin B.]

Who's bought turf recently? Where'd you get it and what'd you pay?

Subscribing

Biograss in Sandy
I don’t remember the cost, slightly more than other stuff, but waaaaay better quality.

Erda sod farm.

 

[Mouse]

I need some too, prefer close to Ogden

Must be spring fever. Me too....

I need a whole mess. I need to do a whole irrigation system first. I probably should have dropped off my yard specs for plans a while ago but haven't yet.

I priced a couple last fall.
Biograss 300-1499 sqft $.42 1500+ sqft $.36 plus delivery.
Chanshire $.30 over 2000 sqft free delivery.

I'm not looking forward to this myself. My place has an irrigation system, but it's in unknown shape, and the lawn hadn't been mowed in a year or so when we got it.

I'm ready to give up on mine and tear it all out for xeriscaping.

Have you seen a cool yard setup like that?

This is my plan for the front yard. We've got some garden planters out front and I'm going to put in a couple more and xeriscape the rest. But with two kids and a dog and no park nearby, I gotta have some grass in back. I'm tired of trying to coax the hot mess back there into some semblance of green lushness, so I'm gonna nuke it and start over.

I see a lot of xeriscaping in Vegas and Arizona. There's a guy I work with who has a house like the one you had in West Jordan, but his is on a 1/2 acre. 100% gravel landscaping covering the entire lot. It looks a little boring, but it also looks clean.

 

[Hickey]

This looks a lot easier to maintain, and doesn't look like a gravel parking lot...

 

[Hickey]

It should be mentioned that even with weedblock material, you still have to weed those gravel areas. The difference is the weedblock makes it much easier to pull up the weeds. They will grow in the dust and sediment that settles on top of the weedblock. You can spray large gravel areas at weed killer, but it can leech into nearby vegetation. If you drive over gravel with weedblock under it, it will shred the weedblock eventually.

Hobo spiders do love those rocks.

 

[Hickey]

I get that response from a lot of people. I don't really see an increase of spider activity/webs compared to the other places I've lived. I've had my rock mailbox up for two years now and there isn't a single web in it, though I do have a birds nest in there. I haven't treated my rock for insects or spiders for several years, either. I've used a granular insecticide with fantastic results in the past, actually better results than with the same product on my lawn.

 

[mbryson]

I can make something like this work. Good picture

 

[johngottfredson]

Chanshare sod over biograss for sure. Professionals in the biz don't buy into biograss' hype/marketing.

 

[nnnnnate]

Who is your favorite sod company @johngottfredson?

Along those lines does anyone have a concrete curbing guy? The kind of curbing that divides grass and flowerbeds?
