Re-grade and re-sod lawn

9 years ago

Dear Members:
I am new to Garden Web. I took an interest in gardening thinking I would have a nice backyard for all the beautiful trees, shrubs etc. when my concrete patio is done. Well the patio is done but my dream is smashed!
My backyard is ruin. I should not allow the contractor to heap the grass removed on top of the lawn. It is in such a mess. Now I need to re-grade and re-sod the lawn. With a small budget left, I do not know who to ask. The backyard is about 20'x45' I live in Brampton (Chinguacousy and Queens).
Please help me.
Thank you so much
James L

This might be an inexpensive fix. Can you post a picture or two showing what you're starting with? The best pictures are taken on a cloudy day without direct sunlight.

It is getting to be crunch time for renovating a lawn, so the sooner the better.

Caring for a lawn is as simple as watering, mowing, and fertilizing, but you have to be doing those thing right. Doing them wrong leads to weeds and disease, so please ask before you do anything or commit to anything.

Pictures first.
