I did my own. It is a lot of work but save a lot. Again, level ground is key. Don’t skimp on measuring. I highly recommend a sod cutter to remove the grass. If not, it can come back. Make sure to put a veggie killer down before sand or whatever you use. When I did my research, I decided...

I hope there is a better options than replacement. :rant: My CH is 620! Miscalculated CH test at opening and added too much calcium. :hammer: Is there ANY solution other than draining water to get my CH down? Please!
