Sun and Shade
Clayton Neighborhood: Lee Forest
Project Location: Backyard
Lawn Environment: The backyard experiences a mix of direct sunlight and shade. In shaded areas, significant soil erosion has occurred, leading to weak and bare grass coverage across most of the lawn.
Lawn Challenge: The client’s request involves addressing the erosion issue caused by water runoff from downspouts. They want the water to be channeled to a natural area. Additionally, they seek a grass type that thrives in both sun and shade while requiring minimal maintenance.
Sod Type Recommendation: First, we recommended countering the erosion by bringing in double the amount of topsoil and fill dirt than typically recommended. This extra soil would help elevate the eroded portions to match the rest of the lawn’s level. Second, we recommended the grass type Zeon Zoysia. This choice was based on the grass’s ability to tolerate shade and its low maintenance requirements.
Project Success Criteria: It was extremely important for our client that we bring in enough soil to build up a lot of what has eroded away.
Scope of Work: The proposed scope of work includes bringing in additional topsoil and fill dirt to rectify the erosion issue. Additionally, the suggestion is to install Zeon Zoysia grass due to its suitability for the given environment.
Interesting Challenge: An interesting challenge encountered during the project was that the initially available fill dirt wasn’t sufficient to achieve the desired level. To meet the client’s expectations, an extra trip was made to acquire the necessary fill dirt.
Interesting Insight: The client, a widow for a few years, primarily works from home but also travels for business. Her late husband used to handle tasks like mowing and other home projects. She relies on her supportive neighbors for assistance with these tasks.
Successful Installation: The installation was successful, indicating that the erosion issue was effectively addressed, and the Zeon Zoysia grass was laid successfully.
Mitigate The Erosion
Clayton Neighborhood: Lee Forest
Project Location: Backyard
Lawn Challenge: The backyard faced challenges with weeds and a diminished fescue presence due to neglect. Erosion during heavy rainstorms exacerbated the issue, resulting in significant soil loss. Our client expressed a desire to restore the once beautiful fescue lawn and sought to remedy the uneven terrain by adding substantial amounts of soil.
Sod Type Recommendation: To address the client’s concerns effectively, our recommendation included the delivery of a truckload of fill dirt in addition to a generous supply of topsoil. This approach aimed to create a well-elevated base, ensuring a leveled and aesthetically pleasing backyard with fescue.
Project Success Criteria: The objective was to prevent future erosion, securing the client’s investment against potential storm damage.
Scope of Work: We proposed a solution involving the integration of downspouts, directing water flow into a strategically positioned large drain box. This system efficiently guided excess water away from the property, mitigating the risk of erosion during heavy rainfall.
Win Reason: The client was enthusiastic about reclaiming a thriving fescue lawn, motivating them to invest in the restoration process.
Interesting Challenge: A unique challenge emerged when the initially procured drain box fell short of the client’s preferences. We promptly addressed this by special ordering a larger one and installing it promptly upon arrival.
Project Obstacles: We navigated an order discrepancy in the grass type initially chosen. Swift detection of the issue allowed us to notify our vendor promptly, ensuring the correct grass variety was delivered.
