Here’s A Few Tips For Protecting Your Grass When Doing Outdoor Projects | Tips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spring is a great time for outdoor projects, but often the process of building a pergola or pathway causes damage to the lawn the project is intended to help you enjoy.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All the traffic from feet and wheelbarrows beats the grass down and piles of dirt from post holes smother it. So plan to protect it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you dig holes for posts or planting... lay out a tarp to pile the dirt on. It makes backfilling easier and won't leave a muddy mess on the lawn. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you begin moving pavers or gravel across the lawn with the wheelbarrow... lay down several sheets of thin plywood to create a path that will protect the grass for the duration of the project. If that takes days, move the plywood each night to let the grass breathe.</span></p>
