My son just bought a home in Atlanta last week and his front yard needs a lot of work. 2 trees have to come down, the driveway has to be extended to allow for more cars since he will have 3 roomates, and so on. While he was raking the leaves, he noticed his yard is mostly just dirt. So, in the meantime, I suggested putting down hay so things don't get so muddy until he figures out just exactly what to do with the front yard. Hey, hay is thick, not expensive and will get the job done for covering up the dirt so you don't have a muddy mess. |
