Will building the coop damage my lawn?
It can leave minor marks. Equipment and materials have to come across the yard, so you may see some lawn disturbance, tire marks or soil compaction near where we build, but no truck drags a finished structure over the grass.
We walk the access plan with you beforehand and leave things as clean as we can.
