[quote="Guest"]No you don't need a permit or approval for what you are doing. It is exempt from the code restrictions. This is meant to stop huge amounts of soil from coming in during massive building projects. To reseed lawns or build raised garden beds you're fine. The two cheapest delivery centers are Cornucopia at 571 and Old Trenton and Timothy's. I actually sodded our lawn when we considered the costs. Timothy's sod is $4 a piece. The quality seed (Blue Grass or Fescue) is expensive. If you are doing this expense then you want to make sure you get a high quality blend seed which is not cheap. So we did our lawn with sod in two homes and I did it myself. However, if you go this route remember it has to be laid the same day it's cut as it starts to degrade as soon as it is cut.[/quote]

"Township Code 150-62 Soil Disturbance "
I am adding a thin layer of soil on top to allow the seeds to grow. If this requires a permit, then this code is a bad code to be abolished.
