I'm in Mandeville. In winter time, my lawn is quite soft.


Regarding removing the grass, I didn't explain fully. I plan on adding several inches of sand/soil so I didnt know if old grass could be buried or needed to come out. New sod will be touching dirt for sure.

Thank you sir.

If it is dry durning the summer I wouldn’t mess with it too much. Especially if you plan on bringing in new dirt. I have a spot that stays wet for up a week after a decent rain. It only happens during the winter.

I’d just round up the lawn and wouldn’t worry about raking up the dead stuff. Wouldn’t want some zombie grass hanging on and fighting through.
