Drying up a SWAMP yard- start to finish

What happens here

With rain scheduled before sod delivery, the entire graded backyard is covered with large blue tarps. This acts as a protective layer, preventing the freshly graded soil from washing away or becoming excessively muddy due to precipitation. Despite the tarps, some areas may still get wet and require minor touch-ups after the rain.

Goal: Protect the newly graded backyard from rain.

Tools and materials

  • Large Blue Tarps — Covering the graded area
  • Weights — Securing the tarps (e.g., rocks, rebar, sandbags)
