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?

how long could a sod Farm continue as a sod Farm if
they actually delivered sod with 4" of dirt attached?

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.

No, it doesn't. Nice try, but you're clueless too.

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

No, that would be you. How many people have responded, agreeing with your
method? How many have responded, telling you that your method is
incorrect?

Case closed. *You're* the closed minded, presumptuous idiot, not me. ;)

You got out of your book learning and comfort so fast you have no chance of
thinking on your feet. You have basically no idea of the situation. Keep
spouting your canned BS though, you talk a good game.

Hey jackass. Why don't you tell us what the answer to your troll
question is? When someone asks a question and then starts an argument
about the answer he gets, he is obviously a troll. And trolls can be
very entertaining.

I got good suggestions, and I said thanks for them. The actual trolls are
Egghead and Dick. They had no interest in answering my question, just in
telling me I was an idiot for asking.

The reciprocating saw worked fine, by the way.

Hello Jeff

Eggs is one of the better posters in here, maybe it was just a
mis-understanding between everyone.

One thing is for certain, Eggs isn't a troll.

Have a good weekend and good luck with your project.

No need to defend me. They wanted a way to damage their tree (and haven't
a
cloo how to lay/transplant sod). I wouldn't give it to them. It ****ed
them
off. Too ****in' bad (for the tree, and the sod).

If you think the way turf farms do it is actually the best way, you're nuts.
They do it the way they do it because it's practical and economically
feasible, not because it's ideal. I'm transplanting top soil as well as
dirt, to spotty areas with poor top soil. It's obvious to everyone except
the guy with a big ego investment after his blustery "contributions" to this
thread.

Actually this wasn't about turf or how much topsoil you are replacing.
It was about cutting and removing feeder roots from a healthy tree. The
one point that was never touched on was how large of an area are you
talking about and how many roots are you removing. If you are removing a
few spots, say 2 ft by 2 ft, you might get away with it. If you are
talking about removing the roots from half the canopy area, you are
looking at killing the tree.
The point is that, no matter how you do it, eventually you will have an
area of dead grass and a dead tree. But it's your grass and your tree.
Do what you like.
You don't get the answer you want, then don't ask the question. Bye bye.
I'm done with you. *Plonk*

Exactly. So why did he make it that?

talking about and how many roots are you removing. If you are removing a
few spots, say 2 ft by 2 ft, you might get away with it.

It was "touched upon" in my very first post, to wit:
"several feet square"
You don't get the answer you want, then don't ask the question.

It wasn't that I didn't get an answer I liked, it's that he didn't answer
the question I asked. He answered the question he wanted to sound like a
know-it-all about.
