How to make own Backyard track?
 

Hi Guys,

First of all, I don't know if this is in the right section, but it is the best section I could find (I think). If not, please move it to an other section.
Well, I'm planning of making an off-road RC track in my backyard for 1:8, 1:10, 1:16 and 1:18. I already know how the track layout will be. But I have a few questions about the sand/grass etc. I live in Germany, so the ground looks like this:

But my problem is that the grass which is there is like 10 inch high! So it looks something like this:

I want a off-road track with sand only, without any grass. But how should I remove the grass? Should I first cut it so that the grass is really short and then remove it with a shovel? I really don't know what the best way is. Do you guys have any ideas? I don't want to remove grass and weed everyday, so it should be done like a professional :blush:

Thank you for any help,

Patrick

i would cut it then spray it with round up or some kinda grass killer.. u could also us something really heavy and drag it behind a truck or tracter to drag the grass out i would do that after i sprayed it with round up.. thats what i did when i built mine and worked perty good every once in a while i have to spray round up again in spots just my 2 cents some one else might be able to help better marcus
