After |
Hugh and I had been thinking about removing this 8foot wide grass plant for ages. A previous owner had created a 4' diameter concrete pond adjacent to the driveway with this grass plant beside it. The plant grew so big it covered the pond completely. I broke up the concrete with a sledgehammer in the spring so we wouldn't have any stagnant water to breed mosquitoes. I had asked our lawn guy to give us a price to remove it, but he never gave us one so I took matters into my own hands. I created a craigslist post advertising a free grass plant but specifying that they would have to bring their own tools and dig it up. Sure enough, a guy came and dug it out (in four pieces). A levelled the dirt mound with a metal rake, added 4 bags of topsoil, then planted some grass seed. I can't wait to see it all filled in!
In related news, Sav-a-Lawn came and aerated the entire lawn and added more grass seed.
