So here is our beautiful new yard. I have some before pictures but I just can't bare to post them they are so ugly (plus they are on the camera and I'm lazy). But just picture brown, very dead, full of ugly weeds...in one word..horrible! But now we have lush green grass, for the most part( we have some more sod on the way cause we were a little short). I planted the topiaries and flowers in the front and now it looks like a real yard! It was extremely hard work. Imagine me covered in dirt and sweat ripping out dead grass and cursing (literally) every minute of it. Wait don't picture that! I looked like a homeless child when I was done! Laying the sod was much easier than ripping it out. Katie and Hal came over to help lay it. Matt and Hall tilled up the dirt and then it was cake, instant yard! I am pretty happy with it as I'm sure our neighbors are also. I still want to put river rocks on the side to make a path to the gate and get rid of the bark covering in the other side and fill that with plans and river rock. It's getting there. After the extreme DIY Matt and I were both very sore from head to toe. But it was worth it and after the outrageous estimate I think we saved almost $2,000 by doing it out selves.
