A few weeks ago I spent $15,000 on my place having a road built, a 1.5 acre pond dug, and paids built for my shop and house. The fill dirt and the dam dirt is all clay that came out of the pond down to 10 feet deep or so. It is dense yellow clay and I doubt if anything would ever grow in it. We haven't had any rain, but I'm afraid the first good rain will wash my clay away and there will be big gulleys where the clay used to be. Looks like I need to spread some topsoil in over it with my 2710 and try to get some winter grass growing before I lose it.
My question is, how much topsoil is needed for a decent turf in north central Texas. I was figuring on about 4". I figured on planting bermuda in the spring, or doing hydromulch on some if I run into any $$ between now and then. I guess its too late to get bermuda going good enough between now and the monsoons (if there is a monsoon).
