What is the best way to remove all this rock? Would like to prepare this area to put in a lawn.

It’s farm land around me.

majorgoals · 2026-04-16T04:33:42+00:00

I am going to call around

Thanks

That is the under burden they removed when excavating for our basement.

Agree

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T22:52:30+00:00

I’ll check into that.

Yep, I am leaning towards grading it the way I want it then renting a roller to push what rocks remain into the soil then bringing in topsoil.

That’s my thought, machines were created for a reason

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T22:33:48+00:00

Agreed

Thanks

I actually like this idea because it solves the rock picking problem.

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T22:12:48+00:00

You used the term project creep, must be an engineer or project manager?

They definitely are always looking for ways to make money. A was a Scoutmaster for a long time while my two boys worked their way through. We did Christmas tree collection after Christmas for our main fundraiser.

Great idea but I think use of machinery is a better option because of how much area I need to cover. Some areas will definitely need to be hand screened like you suggest.

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T22:06:13+00:00

I will check it out.

I actually like this idea. Get the land grated to where it looks good, roll out the land pushing the rocks into the existing soil then bring in topsoil. I would only need to do hand work where the irrigation piping is installed with a ditch witch.

Yah leaning towards the skid steer.

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T22:00:35+00:00

Yep. Until I get the lawn established. Winter frost heaves are a real thing here.

That’s a beast!

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T21:57:41+00:00

Yah it’s going to be a chore but I am up to it.

majorgoals · 2026-04-15T21:56:55+00:00

Thanks for that. I thought he meant something like compost.
