How do I remove all the grass in my yard? Yucky Bermuda grass.?

Question

I know there is a tool that will completely remove the grass in my yard. I hate Bermuda grass. I want St Augustine grass. This tool removed grass and rolled the grass like you see hay rolled up. What type of tool is this. It is very short grass... I just want it all gone. Please don't answer with a lame two word answer just for points.

Answer 1

Its called a sod cutter. And be sure to use it with live grass. dead grass just makes a bigger mess. Its very easy to use and should only take an hour or 2 to cut a whole yard.
BTW: The Sod Cutter wont roll the grass it just cuts it away from the dirt so it lays in a sheets on top after youre done cutting just roll it up yourself. Be sure to rake or roto-till the dirt before you lay seed or sod. Maybe even mix in a little peat moss to hold moisture.

Answer 2

The tool you mentioned only works with type of grass which grows long horizontal roots such as St. Augustine. It won't work for Bermuda.

Just kill them with Round-up and rake them out. There is a machine you can rent that basically scrubs the dead grass out of the ground, but you should talk to nursery for suggestions.

Answer 3

call a sod farm ...my friend had new sod grass put in but 1st they took the old grass with tool u speak of

Answer 4

dont roll it up spray it and kill the grass you have to wait a few weeks then rent a verti-cutter go over the lawn both directions then seed it

Answer 5

Use weed killer or vegetaion kill. The only problem with these products is that you can't reseed for about four weeks.

Answer 6

Call your local rental company, they probably know what you are talking about and have one for rent. I've seen them but don't know the name. SCORE 2 for me!
