I have an extremely bumpy, rutty, lawn here in NE TN that I am at the point of ripping up the whole thing. It is so bad that I can't walk through without turning an ankle. Literally. I had spinal fusion a couple of years ago so this is really becoming a problem for me to even finish mowing. Total property is about 3 acres, about 1/2 is too rough to mow. Part of it used to be pasture land. House was built in 1869 and over the years several bushes, trees, sidewalks, etc have been grown, taken out, left to rot, etc. Also have ruts where water line has been installed and a dump truck delivering gravel got stuck. It is entirely too much to try and work by hand. There aren't any areas that are major ruts or mounds or anything, just hundreds of small, ankle turning places spread out. The plan in my head is to rent a skid steer and harley rake and go to town. Thought of topdressing but I just can't swing the cost of that much topsoil. The soil I have is the envy of the town. Very rich, black, soft. Not too many rocks. If you have any other suggestions or ideas, I'd love to hear them!
