Oh and even though its small it looks very relaxing back there.. They nailed it down every few inches with this 5"-6" nails (that they said they have never had pull up before). Laid the grass over about 4" of Gravel/Sand Mixture which was tamped down. The underside is a "weave" so water and stuff will go through just fine. The guy that installed it said it would drain NO WORSE than the crappy clay that my real was sitting on...They spread out some sand on top and then use a motorized metal bristle brush thing to "fluff" up the grass...

That some pretty cool stuff.. whats the price difference between that and sod?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 That some pretty cool stuff.. whats the price difference between that and sod?? Didn't price Sod...this was about $3.70 Sq/Ft for just the product...I'm guessing quite a bit more than sod, but, no water, no mowing, 25 year warranty, no fading, no mowing, no mud, no mowing...

SuperWade2 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well it looks good,, you going to have a lawn warming bbq soon?? :cheers: Sure, but NorCal is sure a good drive from NC...I did just get done smoking about 15 lbs of Pork shoulder for Pulled Pork... was in for just under 20 hours and is delicious, but being a California (Nebraska transplant), I probably don't get to call that "real" BBQ... :eek: Hopefully taking the TJ down this weekend to Pismo Beach to do some Sand Wheeling and Beach camping, so BBQ will have to happen after that...

SuperWade2 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 That is saweeeet looking. Is the mesh bottom thick enough to keep weeds from being able to grow through? Not many weeds before with the real grass, but they rolled out some weed barrier cloth under the rock base so it should be fine now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Sure, but NorCal is sure a good drive from NC...I did just get done smoking about 15 lbs of Pork shoulder for Pulled Pork... was in for just under 20 hours and is delicious However, Scott's Valley is a short drive from Fairfield. Pulled pork :drool: I also smoke pork shoulder to make pulled pork, I use a Big Green Egg (ceramic cooker) with lump charcoal and usually pecan wood and let the puppy go overnight, usually 15-20 hours. What equipment do you use? Any rub recipes you can share? I like your lawn, let us know how it feels when it's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
