Old Tractor Tools
What am I going to do with this yard of red clay and little grass?
I had guys cut down some dead or nearly dead trees, cut off lower branches of some giant pine trees and couple of other trees. All this is in my fenced back yard of about 125' w X 50' deep. Now have ground of dead weeds, open red clay soil, and the piles of pine needles and tree trunks. Well, I planned to do over yard, but between this hot, dry summer and my aching bones and lazyness (72 year old guy), I am not getting far. I'm the one who killed the weeds and I put some shrubs in, but think the really big job is going to be too much for my simple hand labor and tools. Now, I have a brainstorm. I will buy a used or new ATV, or small riding tractor, and tools to do hard work to get the debris off the ground & out, move around new dirt and stones to form nice looking places without grass, and cultivate rest of the area to put in some new grass, but mostly new shrubs and ground cover. I'm depressed and need to get out. What do you think of idea. Likely cost of vehicle needed? Thnks
As long as you had to hire people to cut the trees, you could have payed a little more to have them remove debris. That would have been one less job for you to do. As for the tree trunks, again you can pay someone to grind and remove. Let me add, sawdust would be good mulch to to put down first before plant bushes and/or grass.
Sometime we have to pay someone else for services needed when we can no longer do them ourselves.
Rock gardens sounds good to me. With a little planning you could have a nice looking back yard. As far as I'm concerned the less grass to cut the better.
Stones are heavy, but can be trucked in. Again, you will most likely will have to pay for services to put rocks where you want them.
Husband and I are Tree Farms, so we don't cut down trees unless we have to. Then it's done to let new trees grow.
Don't be depressed over how your yard looks now. Depending on age and income, you may qualify for free assistance. Look into it. You just may be surprised. Doesn't hurt to try. Hang in there.
