Using a sod cutter is terrible but here are some tips that might be helpful

We used a sod cutter to remove sod from a large portion of our yard prior to xeriscaping using the localscapes program in Utah. We wanted to remove some grass to save water and also to allow us to place garden boxes and other edible landscaping. See my other videos to see what we did to transform our yard to plain old grass to nice looking local scapes that uses much less water and provides some food and fun in our yard.
