Cement Pad Edging ideas

I have a new cement pad and need some ideas on how to make it look more finished. The far end could even use an extra step down. see photo. Name: 0219-7.jpg

Looks to me like you need a dump truck or two full of dirt to raise the grade.

Testing yard strip drain

G

gastorms1 on Feb 18, 2016

Background: I have about 300 ft of strip drain I installed several yrs ago in backyard to carry off downspout water and help drain the swale area of my yard where water would stand for weeks in the winter after any significant rain. Today: I want to test the flow of this drain as I have never seen any water flowing from the emitter at the end of the line. I can see water in the drain by raising the cap. I'm wondering if I could gently pressurize the drain at the upper collection basin/input into drain with my air compressor. I'm thinking initially any water in system would expel from emitter then there should be a steady rush of air from emitter if there is no blockage in the system? Anyone have any experience doing this or know another way to effectively test the system? :confused:Read More

Bumpy lawn

D

duke0315 on Feb 24, 2016

I bought a home approximately 10 years old with an established lawn. It is very bumpy. It feels like there are rocks under the turf, but no. It is strictly dirt elevations. I thought I might roll it after a very heavy rain, but understand that is not good for the roots. I'm thinking when the yard was established, it was not graded properly by the contractor. What can I do to smooth it out?Read More
