That looks great! We split the lot next to us last year with a neighbor and my wife didn't want to deal with mud for any length of time so we went with 15,000 sq ft of sod....
I'm still a little bitter about spending the money, but it was also nice to have everything nice and clean fairly quickly.

I think it’s the only way we seed around here. Except for the industrial applications and highways. They use the spray on stuff with the green material in it.I never knew it was a thing until here. Since I've been on TFP, I've seen it once while driving around. And between work and the kids, I log some MILES on the road. I also believe that was the first time I'd ever seen straw used for seed. It was probably a Midwest transplant.
It's even a step on the bags of seed. We just don't do it here. $17 a bale was the first light bulb. But with the dogs playing in the yard I figured I could really use some extra protection. Until half of it blew away.
I looked it up out of curiosity and it was $1.17 a sq ft at HD. It likely would have been cheaper from the suppliers, but still. Ouchies.
He said they used a diamond core bit and would use a seam when possible to not have to drill through a whole stone.
He said they have them at the shop (even rattling off the brand / make / model) and will replace them if needed.
99.9% chance the guy shows up with a regular hammerdrill and they will say they don't know anything about using a core drill.
OK. We covered that too. The core bit needs to be used the whole way down when drilling a full stone, so they will avoid that when possible.
the rain coming I’m sure will help too.
They are very thin blades and sparse when seen upclose. But from a few steps back, it's at least mostly green. Anything but that light brown. Lord help me I was SICK of that color.
Anyone know if i should apply the next round of fertilizer being a couple weeks ahead of schedule ?
We might be approaching chicken/egg terrirory if she has to eat my new grass in order to fertilize it.
etter.
I didn't even want to give my PB the chance after all their crummy subs did what they did. There was another store a couple towns over that I had 2 good experiences with so I called them. The dense mesh Looplock 20x40 custom measured/made (likely only the stairs area being custom) was $2750 including the 15%/20% upcharge for gray. The install is $500. I'm not sure about the upcharge as the guy said both #s and the process was well below what I was expecting so I didn't press for clarification.
Price sounds about right considering the size. I think mine was somewhere between $1500-$2000 installed back in 2019. It’s an important investment though as they do what they are supposed to do. Don’t have to worry about anyone or any pets getting caught in a regular pool cover.
