Removing small roots from lawn
jeffc wrote:
I'm transplanting some grass from healthy areas of my lawn that I'm trimming back, to thin areas in several spots. The grass is thin and not really growing probably due to rocky soil (heavy gravel left there from preconstruction) and also probably due to shallow roots from some pines. If I'm cutting up small areas (several feet square in several places) how do I best cut out these roots? They are 1/4" to maybe 3/4" in size. Tried a tree pruning saw but it curves the wrong way. Other saws, or something else altogether? If you don't care about the tree - they make pruning blades for sawzalls that really do a number on roots. They are about 8-10" long and go through dirt and roots with ease. I don't know about gravel and rocks. Maybe look for a carbide blade. -- Art |
