Your question was answered. I also gave you an alternative solution, which
would be more beneficial to your lawn, as well as your trees. Apparently,
you missed it (or you're determined to damage your trees).

No, I don't need a lawn vac because pine needles aren't a problem.

Sure they are. You just don't understand chemistry. That's cool. =)

I don't
need compost because the grass I'm transplanting comes with 3" of it's own
"compost" - it's healthy grass with enough dirt underneath transplanted with
it.

Ok. Then why do you need to cut the roots? You should be able to just lay
the sod right over them. It's the lesser of the two evils. You don't
understand trees, either.

This tactic has worked fine for me whenever I've tried it, and no it's
not "magic" grass

No shit? I was being facetious.

and no the transplanted grass doesn't "suffer the same fate".

It will, if you don't get a grip on the acidity. Of course, the falling
tree could do more damage than the acid, I'll give ya that.

He's determined to do it "his way" and he doesn't want to hear that it's
not good for the tree to cut the feeder roots or that the grass will
probably die anyway. He just wants to know of an easy way to do it.
Jeffc. Go rent a sidewalk edger. cut the roots in the pattern you want
and then use the sod cutter to lift the feeder roots in sections. Then
put down your sod and watch the grass and trees die.
I've never done this but I'm sure it will work.

Why do people have nice trees and then insist on killing them because
they don't like what nature does?

Because the grass sod coming in has 4 inches of dirt with it, and I can't
dig out 4" of dirt with the roots there. Do you understand how to
transplant healthy grass?

No, it won't. Been working for years. You act like pine needles fall in
one little 4 foot square on the lawn and magically avoid the rest. Frankly,
you don't seem too bright.

It's called "landscaping". Check it out sometime.

I've probably laid more sod, in the past year, than you've laid in your
entire life. I've never seen a sod farm pull 4" of soil on either a "big
roll" or a pallet. Never. As in not one time. Sound's like *you're* the one
that doesn't know how to 'transplant healthy grass'.

No, it won't. Been working for years.

Apparently not, if you're replacing sections of thinning sod.

and magically avoid the rest.

You act like bent's kid. Are you related?

Frankly, you don't seem too bright.

Maybe I'm not. *shrug* But, at least I understand the interactions and
reactions of different flora. That's quite a bit more than can be said for
yourself.

No, it's not. It's called ****-poor planning. "Landscaping" would entail
mulching the trees out to their driplines. This would be the end of the
dying and thinning grass problems, due to the pH of the soil being off, for
the proper environment for the sod. But, I'm sure your trailer will look
just fine with the grass around the dying trees. =)

in-depth understanding for plant life.

You don't have a clue my friend. You didn't listen to a word I said and you
have no idea what I'm talking about. You only want to say what your
preconceived ideas are that fit your limited experience. Just stay out of

I'm not a sod farm idiot. Sod farms don't transplant 4" of soil. I do. It
captures
1) more "topsoil"
2) more healthy root of established grass

I'm not transplanting rolls of sod, I'm transplanting small chunks by the
shovel full to patch small areas.

Frankly, you don't seem too bright.

You're not. And you're close minded and presumptuous as well.

I'm not a sod farm and I don't have to follow their rules. The more dirt
you transplant with the healthy grass the better, especially since the soil
is better than the soil it's replacing. Obviously they don't do it that way
with sod farms. If you'd been paying attention, you'd understand the
difference between what I'm trying to do and what a sod farm does. Use your
head.

your word selection of "Because the grass sod coming in"
implies you are receiving a shipment of sod.

I have much more of a clue than you do, which becomes more obvious with
each post you make. Keep entertaining us, please.

Oh, I've listened, with great amusement, to the fact that *you* have no
idea what you're talking about. Again, this becomes more obvious with each
post you make.

You only want to say what your preconceived ideas are that fit your
limited experience.

My 'preconceived ideas' follow industry standards. Your 'preconceived
ideas' begin and end in your own little, feeble mind. Your lack of
experience with flora showed with your OP, and continues to show each time
you hit the send button.

Just stay out of the conversation next time.
