Adding dirt to grassy area around pavers?
I made a small patio area with stone pavers spaced about 4-5" apart. I'm
growing grass in between the pavers. In the meantime the dirt has settled a bit and now the pavers are not flush with the dirt, which I would like. My question is - how can I add another 1/4" to 1/2" dirt without killing the grass that is already growing? Thanks! -- x-no-archive: yes Dave |

Just add it, the grass won't mind.

Fill it in with corase (builders) sand. Grass won't mind it at all since sand
is used on golf coarse as a top dressing. "Airkings" wrote: I made a small patio area with stone pavers spaced about 4-5" apart. I'm growing grass in between the pavers.

It won't kill the grass that's already there when it gets covered by the
dirt? "Warren" wrote in message . .. Airkings wrote: I made a small patio area with stone pavers spaced about 4-5" apart. I'm growing grass in between the pavers.

"Airkings" wrote in message nk.net... It won't kill the grass that's already there when it gets covered by the dirt? You did say 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch, not 1/4-yard to 1/2-yard, right? Why would 1/2-inch -- or even 1-inch of soil be a problem for established grass? That's essentially an insignificant amount unless you're actually putting down 3-inches and tamping it down. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.

dirt? Since you seem doubtful about that advice, let me second the suggestion that you just add the soil. The grass will works its way up through it. vince norris |
