Need to build up a couple low spots. Where can I get this in BR/ prairieville for a good price?

If he says yes then he probably needs about 4.

Seriously, people most often WAY underestimate how much dirt they'll need. Often by loads, as in 12 yard trucks.

Probably 2 yards. Not doing the whole backyard, just have an area about 20 x 10 feet that I need to add a couple inches to.

Dang, that's too much to go get at wal mart and not enough for the minimum they'll have to haul. May want to borrow a trailer and go get some but that's too much too shovel, too.

If it's not too low and you need just a little lift, don't rule out fill sand or even sand. works well and I know for sure bermuda will come right through.

trailer is the easiest way, but you can fit a yard in the back of a full size pick up and get it unloaded and spread with a wheel barrow in about an hour, not too hard did a yard last weekend

Problem is Bermuda in the first place. Centipede struggled in the low spot I guess due holding too much water and Bermuda came in and made it look like crap. killed the bermuda so I'm gonna raise it a little and put centipede back on top. Will probably start with a yard in the back of my truck and see what happens. Can always get more if needed. May only need about an inch average depth.
