A little more than a year ago my wife and I moved into a 1-year old house. Apparently the builder removed all the topsoil, removed the larger rocks and debris, and threw down grass seed.
We now have a yard that is very thin, full of weeds, and full of small rocks/wood chips/etc. Last summer I spent more than a few weekends doing nothing but raking out the pebbles from the yard, laying down a thin layer of topsoil, aerating, etc... but as soon as the snow thawed this spring I found the rocks and small stones are all back with a vengeance.
So I thought about hiring someone who actually knows what their doing (unlike me) and got a quote-- about $2800 for a new hydro-seeded 7500 square foot lawn. That seems expensive to me...
So I'm wondering... for those that had lawns profesionally installed... how much did it run?
