We decided to do it finally, after 6 years of home ownership....re-doing the backyard. Our goal was to do it before Anna was born so she could have a nice place to play but it never happened, so now our goal is before Little Law #2 is due and I think we'll get 90% by the end of June arrival. Anna is very excited, "flower beds and grass all over"
Backyard before: green, we thought kept telling ourselves it was grass when in fact it was was just hardy weeds that we kept mowing. LOTS of moles and up towards the top was purely sand.
Ugly walkway
Greg rented a sod cutter to cut up the weeds so they were easy t o rake up. Dad, Greg and I raked and removed all debris all day. We also cut out all those lovely weeds that are growing there on the fence as well as the weeds over the back fence.
Mom keeping Anna busy as the labor continues behind her. All things considered Anna was a great girl yesterday and took a 2 1/2 hour nap she was so tired.
End of Day 1, backyard cleared.
Beginning of Day 2: Install irrigation, outline the flower beds, and do a final rake of the whole backyard to remove final weeds or whatever else we were growing back there.
Next weekend: 5 pallets of Zoysia sod being delivered.
Also to come, I'm in charge of a corner of our yard where I will put in a clothesline and sandbox for this summer. In actuality, I'll plan it and Greg will do most of the work since we're nearing 8 months pregnant!
