Just did irrigation in my backyard and planted Bermuda grass. Excited to be able to mow in a few weeks. Been binge watching channels like yours. I appreciate all the tips.

Great video and well done on the slab! Bringing the turf up to level with the concrete pad sounds like a lot of leveling. How about planting a flower bed there and installing some irrigation!? Might be less hassle, help conceal the shed and provide a pop of color back there. Plus it’ll give you several more video ideas. Just thinking out loud here. Keep up the good work! J

I did use an edge troll but I needed a sharper edge because the ground was so hard.

Good job. Nice 8x8 slab. Where did you get your shed from? What's the specs on that?

@TheALG 5 күн бұрын

Lifetime shed from Sam's. 8ft by 7.5ft

@TheALG I knew. That's the one my wife wanted me to get when it was on sale for $450

@jerrett747 so far it's holding up well, no complaints

Is it possible to dig the foundation in to make it level that way instead of raising it off the ground?

@TheALG 2 ай бұрын

I did consider that but with the slope and my neighbor up the hill, I was afraid the rain will wash onto the slab and into the shed

We’ve been watching a lot of dry pour video’s recently, yours is by far one of the best. Have you considered skim-coating the high side of the pad instead of raising the grade? Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I am still on the fence

Skim coat should be no problem. Just use a mortar mix with no course aggregate or a mix specifically for patch work. You could even add color to it if you wanted. I’n not a fan of the dry pouring fad going on and have seen some spectacular fails. A backyard shed without any real structural value? Maybe, but I still wouldn’t personally do it. -Admittedly Bias Career Concrete Guy-

I didn't realize you put rocks and trees at the top of the slope. Between that, the shed, and your pool, aren't you concerned that you're eliminating a big chunk of your lawn?

@TheALG 2 ай бұрын

Not at all. I wanted more privacy and the tress will go at a max height of 15 ft which is what I needed. The remaining bermuda will not be affected since the trees are more north

That actually kinda looks like it went wrong? There shouldn’t be those cracks especially the one that goes from one side all the way across at the top. It forms a shelf.

I'm always looking to improve. It's been solid for about 5 months. I will probably skim coat the side.
