Our Backyard Project

The next summer project we tackled was the backyard. It was a combination of major cleanup, new sprinkler system for the back, a water source to the back and new sod. 

Were we ready for this one? You bet we were! Our backyard was an awful eyesore. If Sophie and Gina could talk they might tell you that were ready for some green grass too.

Yikes!!

...and the demolition begins

The entire yard cleaned out so we could start over.

Next came the trenches and new sprinklers.

More stations and sprinklers are key to our new GREEN grass.

510 ft of PVC pipe later...

Next we had topsoil delivered to even out our lumpy yard

Nothing like the smell of fresh soil.

It can't be all work and no fun. The brother being silly.

We leveled and raked the soil. It doesn't get more perfect than that.

Next was the delivery of the sod.

This was the most exciting moment.

6 Pallets of sod...

Can't go wrong with Kentucky Blue.

Day 5: It's green and beautiful.

The time it took us to complete this project beginning to end was 9 days!! Not too bad if I say so myself. 

A special thank you to the family and friends who were able to lend a hand, lend us tools and give us your expertise advise in the landscaping world. 

We are so blessed to have family and friends so willing to help in the scorching heat. I don't think we can say it enough
