Yard Renovation - After

Mother Nature tried to slow our renovation down with about 4 days of rain, but after it stopped the landscaper was able to get back out here and finish the job.  You can see that we actually did more than just lay sod.  There is new mulch in the beds, not to mention an entirely new flower bed in the side yard.  Mariam planted new flowers in the front.  We cut down three dead trees and replaced the last of the old sprinkler heads.  The new lawn is 100% fescue and should be green year 'round.  And now is the time when we water like crazy.  It has really transformed the yard.  We love being outside now and we have been getting a lot of compliments from our neighbors.  Here's to a summer spent outdoors!

Yard Renovation - Before

This year, after many attempts at getting grass to grow in our yard, we decided to go all out and hire some real landscape professionals to install sod, redo some flower beds, etc.  They first had to get the old yard out which they did by hand in some of the small areas.  For the big areas they had this rotating steel tooth studded ground pulverizer attached to a bobcat tractor. This thing worked like a charm and after some raking you can see there just dirt is left.  You can also see we put in a new flower bed in the side yard, the flowers are yet to come.  We are expecting mulch and grass in the next day, stay tuned for the final result!  Take that neighbors!!
