I had a local hydro seed company do my side yard last summer. I spent 3 days trying to pick out the rocks with my landscape rake and BX22, without success. In one day, they did more than I could do in a month. What I found most interesting is that the rake works in both directions. Spinning clockwise and counter clockwise. The only thing that I learned afterward was that I should have specified how deep I wanted them to go. He only "fluffed" the top 3 or 4 inches and I know that this spring, I am going to have a lot of rocks popping out. Also, if I didn't push him to remove the larger rocks, he sort of covered them with soil and left them in place. I spent a lot of time removing them after they were gone and the grass started sprouting. I got a bargain of a price for the Harley rake and the hydro seeding through a contractor friend. I priced out the materials alone and couldn't buy them as cheaply as having it professionally done. If I had to do it over, I would have spent more time having the site graded and groomed first, but overall, I am satisfied. Now if the snow will only leave and the grass start sprouting, I would be even happier.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
