How much to put in a lawn
About to get CO for my new home and (of course) the I don't have a lawn
yet. I want to hold back an amount equal to the cost of hiring someone to do it for me. I've got an acre with about 3/4 of an acre that will be lawn. Can anyone ballpark how much that would be? I guess someone would have to come in with a york rake and get the large stone/crud out and then seed it. |

That will add legitamacy to your claim and show dilegence on your part if the contractor is backing out on his obligation to provide your home a lawn. York rake, scrape removal, topsoil, seed, straw... could be at least a few thousand. Your jaw might drop at the cost of the grass seed alone. |

Talk to a local pro as you did not give enough information as to what all is needed. |
