Not familiar with that variety of vine, if its just leafy foliage then just getting a few leaves will work. If its a woody stemmed variety (like multiflora rose, or raspberry) then cut it off at the g...

Post: RE: zero turn lawnmower for hills?
The ONLY way to mow hills in a ZTR is straight up/down the grade. They have a high center of gravity and you WILL tip it over trying to go across the grade. I mowed 3+ acres for 16yrs with my ZTR and ...

Why not just some lower cabinets with a bar sink. Put open shelves above for booze/glasses. Do a wall treatment that goes with the decor - maybe barn wood?

Post: RE: help with regrade and planting sod
I would roll it down once you have it set if you have the roller (hopefully used to compact the regrade). It will certainly NOT hurt it and will help get that root growth down into your new substrate.
