I agree, I edge my mulch beds with a shovel. Use my weed whacker for the grass along the fence and the edging head attachment on the sidewalk

Ok so now I have a dilemma, I dug out a fire pit but we had a nice thunderstorm Tuesday now this happened. Hmmmm any advice? Thanks
Only options are wait until it evaporates or siphon it out with a hose

Thanks I have a bucket that I was going to use to expedite the process but I was also looking for other ideas to help deal with this in the future.

Thanks man not interested in a pond haha. Great call about the gravel I was thinking that might be a good idea any way but after this ordeal I know I need something. What about the walls? Maybe flagstone or something similar?

You can dig a hole beside it & lower than the fire pit & let drain that way. Then dig it a little deeper & back fill with some gravel.

Crest I agree with everyone else I would add some type of smaller rocks in the pit.

Yard work thread? Y'all do realize that yardwork is the number one bane of men getting to get out and play golf, right? Why is there a thread dedicated to this travesty of "loving yard work"?
Nice yard = happy wife
Happy wife = happy life
Happy life = happy man
Happy man = on golf course
See......it's simple.

I'm with Cookie on this. If I have to sacrifice a weekend or two in the spring to get it back on track sobeit. Not to mention we are a golfing family so getting help to get it done is easily leverage by golfing opportunities.

So do you grow your own special blend of grass one you can play on all day and then get stoned to the beejezzus after? Lol I love this movie.

Looks good man, well done. Great look and I am sure the up keep will be much easier than just mulch.
I had a contractor say something to me when I first bought my house and I quote to give him credit "sweat equity". I really like the term because yeah it is difficult but it will pay dividends down the road when/if you sell the house.

I trim twice maybe three times a year. I have three acres over 70 trees plus boulders to mow around, round up is my best friend!
When I lived in town I would trim every other time I mowed. The key to this is to trim lower than what you mow.

Finally got the first mow in of the year. First day in almost a month that it hasn't been freezing cold or soaking wet out.
Wife is out planting the bedding plants finally, and I spent 2 hours weed eating, mowing, and fertilizing.
Really happy to have is done. Anxiety level was getting real high with the dandelions and super high grass taking over my yard.

Mowed, weed eated, edged & generally worked my butt of today.
Worked for a good bit in the yard today. Mowed, chainsaw trimmed some palm trees, spread some new Bermuda seed for the yard. All kinds of fun.
