"Very efficient and knew what they were doing. The job was to dig up bamboo rhizomes and they accomplished it in less than a day. They hauled away the offending rhizomes.

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf.
