About Sod Cutting Spree is:

• We send a team, a truck, and a sod cutter out to cut the sod for all the willing neighbors in a neighborhood/community.  We remove lawns for as many people in 1 day as possible.
• We cut and roll up sod as quickly as possible.
  • NOTE:  We can cut several hundred square feet in a couple of hours.
• Minimum charge will be $80 (2 labor hours) to  make sure we cover transportation and admin.
  • Removal of sod can be done on a different day for additional time/cost.
• CEL tracks each team’s effort.  Winning team will be awarded a prize (TBD)

All proceeds (after CEL covers costs), will go towards CEL’s $1000 contribution to Spring Into Bed (SIB).   The $1000 contribution towards SIB will be used to build a (lower income) family a set a garden beds NOW, and will help another family get their garden going later.

If you and your neighbors would like to participate in this event and have sod ripped out, hooray for you and please contact us right away.

Thanks and talk to you soon,

CEL

The idea is this: Neighbor #1 plants a Pear tree and has a nice sunny backyard for heat-loving crops. Neighbor #2 plants a Plum tree and had an excellent shaded area for Chard, Kale, Spinach, etc Neighbor #3 plants an apple tree and great soil for blueberries. All the neighbors plant what works best in their yards, and then they share the bounties.

The design process is very similar to what we would go through with an individual, justwith a group of people: Who likes to eat what, how much maintenance are the people of the neighborhood (and their children!) willing to do.
