Thanks for the advice. I have a good 1/2 acre to do, all on a little slope. I will probably need another 40 yards to finish the job. I am looking to get the job done in one year so adding a little each year (while it might work) is not a job I really want to keep doing and my current grass in not really worth saving. I used the techniques you have all described with some success, but I can tell that is really takes the right touch. Sometimes I get it and sometime I don't. I guess that is why I can't quit my day job. Thanks
How did you decide how much topsoil to ad to your yard? I can grow great grass in the spring when it has plant of moisture and food on just about any type of dirt, but poor soil will not keep a yard for long. I would like to see your progress as I will be doing the same thing this fall. It seems we have the same type of situation. Poor soil on a slope!
