Concrete to SOD

Mutombo: I think I saw this project on "This Old House", or "Ask This Old House". Check out their website.

This past weekend they had a topic on the proper way to plant trees. They were also showing how to save dying trees by removing the "mulch volcanoes" that cause tree-roots to suffocate.
In case you are thinking of planting a tree in your yard.

Truth,

How are you? I will check out the website. At the moment, not thinking of planting trees although, not a bad idea. I am concerned with removing concrete and replacing with SOD or laying SOD over soil/grass that I do not want to revive. I want my backyard to look like The Great Lawn, green and plush.

Hi mutombo: Feeling fine, thanks.

At least one tree would make your yard look nicer.

Those guys on "This Old House" have done it all.

Truth,

You are correct a few trees will do!

Just don't plant them in the mulch volcanoes.
The root sprawl needs to be left uncovered.

Let those trees breath!

Truth,

I have my work cut out for me.

Remember you would have to cut the grass.

Remember you will need sun for photosynthesis, unless they have found a way around that.

..and no need to capitalize SOD like it's some mysterious acronym for grass.

csn & spinnaker1,

I thank you two for providing me with info on how to complete the titled project. :-).
