A little moisture and a rototiller makes all the difference.
Get muddy and start moving all the rocks in to place. I left just a slight lip on the sides of the path for the sod to but up against the rocks.
Love it when it all starts to come together.
Why pay for a gym membership?
Bunch of black dirt all ready for sod… and in time it’ll fill in with grass (between the rocks on the path).
