The Chicken Lady
Chillin' In The Garden
DH and I are currently house-hunting. We found a nice place on 5.31 acres that we really like, and are seriously considering making an offer very soon.
However, it's new construction in the middle of what was overgrown field/pasture previously. There is grass growing, but it's all thick meadow grass interspersed with weeds, etc. If we bought the house, we would not want to pay for sod for 5+ acres, but rather landscape close to the house and then work on the rest of the land over time.
How easy would it be to turn a field or pasture into a lawn? How long does it take, and what is the process like? Ideas about potential costs and/or necessary equipment would be helpful, too.
Thanks for your suggestions and thoughts!
