Backyard Improvement

Whitney and I decided that this summer our deck that we want to design would probably not happen due to other priorities and expenses, so we decided to fix up our backyard for a lesser amount of dinero! Since we have 2 wonderful pups, they like to romp around in the backyard and tear it up. Lovely landscaping is just not an option so we decided to cover the dirt areas around our house with sod. Each time it would rain our dogs would have lovely mud areas to play in and track into our house. Our carpet has had enough!

We had to start by transplanting some plants and used them on the side of our house to fill in some empty spots. Then we had to grate down the dirt in order to make the sod level to the other grass. This was the hard part! Laying the sod was super easy and it made the backyard look a little bigger and much nicer! Thanks again Crow for letting us borrow the truck to transport the sod!

All of the extra dirt had to be put into bags in order to get rid of it. What a pain! As you can see Whitney is working really hard. Don't worry I worked really hard too at capturing some great pictures! I did help as much as I could....
