Just put down 1.5 tons of Top Soil cost me $25 had it put in my truck bed , alot of shoveling later and i have it all on the ground. last year i poured my side walk its about 60 feet and runs in front of the house , all i did was put the top soil along both sides of it level with the concrete and tapering off into the yard on both sides.

what sort of grass seed do you recommend for this application , i have it done up to where i wont have to weed wack it i can use my mower on both sides but i want a grass that will thrive and not be all weeds after the first year like contractor mix is

 

k-51 ...its pretty cheap and hardy

 

who carries it?

 

Depends on the water and sun conditions also.

 

Mostly Sunny area , gets normal rain

 

Bermuda is the easiest to grow, but it is not the prettiest. St. Augustine would work real nice but it is really only good for sustained temperatures to the lower 20's.

If it were me, I would get St. Augustine, but that is my personal preference. I am really only familiar with Dallas climate and what grass does what with this climate.

 

anyone who carries lawn supplies usually....seed it water the hell out of it for 3 or 4 days and then it should go on its own

 

pour more concrete and paint it green.

 

Kentucky bluegrass

 

bermuda grass is hardy and can handle the elements and is easy to grow
