Muddy yard

[Studdlygoof]

I am absolutely tearing up my yard getting wood from the stacks this year. I try and wait to get it when the ground is frozen but sometimes it's not feasible. Any tips, pointers or tricks? I'm thinking about making a path with recycled concrete but it's going to take a while to get that much concrete.

I agree that a path is the way to go. Lots of options for path materials if you find that the concrete isn't easy to source.

When I did the path to my wood shed I used bricks from the landfill. Every time I was there to drop off the trash I noticed huge amounts of brick that had been dumped. Used a couple of loads of them for the path and love it. I just wish I had known about geotextile fabric before putting the bricks down. The fabric makes a great base for them.

A 5 gallon bucket from the nearest stone yard costs 2 bucks, invest $50 or so and lay some stone down?

This is what I've been thinking of doing...

Enough that it would cut down on my muddy erosion mess, easy on the eyes and easy to mow around

I like that....

Could always go with the ol' Maine farmhouse Mud Season special . . . just lay down a single wide board on the ground or a pair of them together . . . followed by another one or two butted up to that to get to Point B from Point A. After Mud Season clean 'em up and re-use 'em.

tell me about it ! I have sheds about a football field away from house at far corner of property - I use an 8k lbs tractor to bring wood to house - it looks like a chocolate milk shake in some spots - been raining and raining and won't freeze

My yard was doing pretty good until i decided to drag a few cedars to the back to work up for fence post. Wife was not to happy to say the least, but on the bright side i dont have to worry about killing the grass on the path to the wood pile since now there isnt any!

I would salt my lawn and put down rock if i thought it would not destroy my home value. I absolutely hate lawn care. It is stupid.

My father always told me as a kid that he wanted to concrete our yard and paint it green. That would help out my situation now for sure
