Just thought I would share, because I could not find anyone’s before and after photos in my research. Many online posts advised against rototilling the lawn due to an uneven finish. I found that my work created a very nice finish. Next up, install some simple landscaping this year. Here is how I did the work.
I used a rototiller to dig up my entire front lawn after removing a large tree. I dug up and removed all the roots with the tiller, a shovel and an axe. I tilled down about 6-8 inches deep. I regraded the lawn by dragging a weighted pallet over the surface. I drug the pallet each day after work for about a week. I also spent a lot of time making adjustments as I went with a shovel. Moving dirt from high spots to low areas. Then more dragging and leveling… Next I sprigged the lawn with shredded up Bermuda sod. 2 months later, I had a smooth, full front lawn. It worked for me.
