Mud pit...what to do???
Okay let me start by saying I know nothing about gardening or
landscaping. About 2 weeks ago I had someone dig up my asphalt driveway (which is about 1000 square feet), and put cement in except for half of the 3rd spot which I told hm I wanted to plant grass. He put topsoil in this spot seems to be about 12 inches deep loosely packed. Anyway 2 days later it rained real good, now I've got a mud pit, still 2 weeks after it's not by any means dry you can't even step in it without it going up to your calf. What should I do? Plant grass now? How can I pack it down? Thank you in advance for any help, Gill |

So anyway......
I did think it had dried up the other day so I borrowed a roller but to no avail.....you can't even walk behind without sinking. Any other ideas, or just wait it out? |

Any other ideas, or just wait it out? The subdivision where a friend lives was built upon clay with just enough dirt over it to grow a lawn. Low spots in his lawn take days to dry out. It may be the same where you live. Do your neighbors have problems with wet spots? |

The OP didn't indicate where he lives. If it's not in a warm part of the county and the soil is stable enough so that it won't erode or cause problems over the winter, I would just let it settle by itself. It's really too late to plant most desirable grasses in most parts of the country. Sounds like you wound up with a lot of loose top soil to fill a deep hole. This problem could have been avoided by using gravel or other appropriate fill as a base first, compacting it and then screened top soil for the last 7 inchs or so. I'd also make sure that excess water from the driveway, etc. is channeled away from this area, not filling it with more water. |

And you claim to be from FU.NET How clever, tough guy! I have a comcast address too. Should I close my ports too? Is the DIESPAMMER!!! boogie man going to send me a virus?? What a dumbass. Go ahead, reply by calling me names. I'm sure it's why you wake up in the morning. Grow up, little boy.

Leave it a -little- high when you're done, because it will still settle after all is said and done. |
