Is there sod to be removed or not?

If there is sod for them to remove you are looking at $6.00-7.00$ a foot.

If there is no sod to be removed (a new construction job) you are looking at $5.50-$6.50 a foot.

Everywhere is different, but I would say this is a fair ball park figure you could be looking at.

I have a buddy that does this in the metro area. He did my house 2 years ago. I love it! EZ to mow around and looks great. He gave me a heck of a "friends" deal so I'm not sure what it costs. I do know he charges by the foot. He charges more if he had to dig up sod, remove old edging, or move rock. There are many colors and styles that can be done. The machine that lays it down is pretty slick.

Pure, Where in the metro area can you rent one of these machines? I did some online searching and it looks like it can be a DIY job with 3 people. Can it be done with Sakcrete or does it need to be mixed with portland and sand or do I need to order up a cement truck?

I looked into this last summer as well - the quotes I rec'd were closer to the $8-10 range/foot. Way too expensive for what I wanted to do. If you're willing to put in some elbow grease, get a bunch of rocks with a flat side and have at 'er! It looks really nice when it's all done. I got all the rocks from our hunting land up north. For what I spent in gas driving up there, it probably would've been cheaper to just have them delivered.

Wow that looks cool! You know what I would do if I were you! Put some type of sealer on those rocks! It will give them the look you see in this picture. almost as if they are always wet. the color will pop more! Good job!

I would stop at a landscape supply place. I have never used it in my years as a landscaper. Could never talk any clients into it. It looks so much better and the colors pop! An informative sales person at a good landscape place should be able to tell you what works best. Get yourself a chemical sprayer too, that is typically how its done. You just spray it on! The look is amazing!

You can brush it on, but you will probably have brush strokes. the purpose of the sprayer is to get an even coating with minimal running and well no brush strokes wink I am sure a brush would work. but I just know they use the sprayers to spray this stuff on.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
