Patiently awaiting germination...

Well the seed to the front lawn was set last wednesday and saturday, should hopefully be seeing signs of growth soon. So how much did it cost, and was there a lot of work involved...??
Compared to the quote of €2,950 from the landscaper, as outlined below in another post. We have spent, €240 for bob cat with soil crumbler and stone raker for the weekend (this leveled the site and made it the cake crumb consistency that you are supposed to have, on hindsight the harrow would have done the same job and saved €240), 3 bags 25kg nr 2 grass seed at €60 each, the lawn was harrowed for free, tracks machine to level the place one saturday 8hrs at €40 an hour, after that it was all free labour and very much appreciated :) Took 5 people nearly 5 days to pick stones rake it, seed it and roll it, the water filled roller cost €32 for the week.

Total cost €772
