Using a lawn tractor, I have an area I need to shave off some high spots to allow for better drainage. Would i be better off with a push rototiller to tear up the grass and then go back over with a box blade? Or do I need a tow-behind ripper to tear the grass and then box blade it or what?
I prob need to lower these "humps" in the yard by at least 4" or so to allow water to continue falling away from the house into the low spot that was graded for drainage. But I think the sprinkler installers ruin the final grade before the sod went down because I saw the final grade when the house was built and it wasn't so lumpy. But this grass is now 3yrs established and not going to come up easy without some sort of machine so I can get to the dirt and smooth it out and re-seed/sod or something.
