I live on a 0.8 acre lot in a residential community in East Texas. My B2310 is way overkill for my needs and I like it that way. I have the 60" MMM and use the tractor to mow my grass as well as other construction projects. My corona-project is construction of a flag-stone patio. I spent lots of time working the shovel, but enjoyed the bucket for moving materials...
We started with a blank slate...
Shovel work, material carted away, and edging installed.
The fun part!
Ended up digging out the other sides to amend soil and mulch. Don't be fooled by the tracks - that was hand dug, but tractor carted away...
The finished product...
Around back we continued the patio and tied it into the existing cement patio at the back of the house - also installed some underground drainage to get the downspout water away from the house.
Progress - dig, place rock, add sand, smooth, smooth, then flagstone, and finish with pea gravel
Will add these rocks too and look forward to those plants filling out
Now that you've got the theme of what we're doing - I need some help! We have a low spot in our back yard where water flows across when we get a heavy rain (regular this time of year).
A neighbor did this. I'd like to replicate it in my back yard.
How would you recommend digging out the sod for the creek? I hand dug everything for the walkway, but wore out one shovel and my desire to shovel a 80' x 6' creek path is low.
How would you do this with a B2310? What implements or tools should I utilize? I have a BXExpanded Tooth Bar on order already. I look forward to your thoughts.
Thanks!
