TOUGH DAY on the Farm job
What happens here
The final steps involve preparing the soil for new growth. Pulverized screened black dirt is imported and spread across the site using the power rake. Instead of simply layering, the black dirt is tilled into the subsoil to integrate it effectively. Then, grass seed is spread using a broadcast spreader. Finally, straw blankets are rolled out over the seeded areas and secured with sod staples. These blankets help with germination by protecting the seeds and preventing erosion. The crew works together to complete this final landscaping step.
Goal: Prepare the final ground for planting and ensure successful grass growth.
