dirt work preparation for yard rock?

[trophyseeker]

I'm looking for someone to scrape about three inches of dirt/grass from my front yard to prep it for laying down rock. Probably would require a front loader and dump truck. West valley

 

Anyone know someone reliable?

Put 10 mil plastic over it and cover, I've never had a problem

Rent a bobcat and trailer and play! Any excuse to play with big toys is a good excuse!

Yup. I think I know how to put the rock down. What I need is getting the surface below grade so the yard isn't 3 inches higher than the driveway and walks. And no, I don't want to use any sort of edging.

That make sense, maybe raise the sidewalk.

Is it just put in without plastic now, I know that used to be the deal. Getting ready myself and just curious.

City might frown on that.

Post a pick of the front yard.

I was kidding about raising the side walk, and why not use plastic, you want to weed you rocks every year or just us the harmful weed killers. Just curious, now let me have it.

3/8 rock or smaller and a hula hoe for weeding or spray.

Sell the place and move.

I think they make fabric that allows water down in but no plant growth. But I'd have no problem us8ng plastic if it's done right. Plastic can't be exposed at all or it will deteriorate,
