I don't know anyone in that business, but I would ask at Geo Growers which
is located right there on Hwy 290. If you have identified a different
supplier for the top dressing, ask them for recommendations.

As "Jonny" pointed out in the " Low mow, now dead lawn!" discussion,
this is the wrong time of year to add top soil over your lawn. You
should check out the references I gave in that discussion thread:

Call your county extension service! It is their job to help you. See
http://texasextension.tamu.edu

Go to http://www.growgreen.org and read about proper lawn care.

Thanks for the information!


Head further west on 290. Turn left on RR12 in Dripping Springs. On the
right after you enter the city limits of Wimberley, look for the Catholic
Church on the right. Workers will be standing out front in early morning
hours. Going rate is 7-10 dollars an hour for these laborers. They will
need transportation back. Spanish language fluency on your part is a plus.
INS doesn't seem to bother the area to date, so don't fret. Have the soil
topping and tools ready for use, and an external drinking water source for
the workers. Just don't do it right now as pointed out. You have plenty of
time to do some homework on the project.
