My present lawn located in Central Texas (sandy soil) is mostly weeds with some neglected tiff bermuda. I plan to have my entire yard completely re-done. The landscaper said he’d scrape two inches of my topsoil and replace with a different topsoil in preparation. He didn’t mention, however, killing what is presently growing. I’m leaning towards Palisades Zoysia sod. Will scraping be enough?

what I would do…

spray existing lawn w/high rate of roundup.

wait two weeks, rough it up with a harley-rake and lay sod.
