Backyard Semi Roadway

Will it sounds to me like either way you go it's going to kill your grass with that said you could till up the road and put down felt paper like they use on roofs and then put your cold mix from home depot on top and that should keep the grass out for a while !

Unless you use some type barrier NO asphalt product can be on top of any vegetation. you can spray vegetation killer down first that might help. best practice is to dig it up first.

A trick I learned a while back is to cover the area of grass with a few layers of news paper then dampen it with water so it will stay put while you are putting soil, gravel, or your cold patch down. The grass cannot penetrate the paper and will die out. Eventually the paper will biodegrade but the grass below will already be dead and will not grow up through the surface. I use this trick when installing new flower beds over existing grass or when building raised gardens out of railroad ties. It works every time.

Thanks guys for the input! Flying Beagal has a great idea! I was going to use plastic over the grass, but newspaper sounds better!!! I'm gonna start stocking up on some, and get started soon. Its supposed to rain on and off for tge next few days. I'll try to post my progress as I go. My computers down, so I'm using my cell phone. Take care everybody.
