Backyard Sprinkler Move



When work began on replacing the sprinkler system the lawn was in bad shape. Prior to the placement of the redwood and rock edging I guessed the lawn would end where the sprinkler was placed. After planting new grass decided to let the grass get established before moving the sprinkler. The grass was getting established then we cut the limb off the tree (go here to see pictures) and between the limb hitting the lawn and the saw dust the grass diminished.

The plan is to get the sprinkler soaking the lawn and will plant some blue fescue grass mix to fill in the dirt gaps. Will continue to use the blower to remove and remaining saw dust. Suspect the cracks in the lawn are due to the clay soil used from Mom & Dad's yard to cover this rock and root plagued area (hope it's not the roots). Filled in the cracks with soil conditioner.
