What a mess, huh? The sad thing is - the water filling those trenches converted to mud as it dried = back/neck breaking work.
James spent whatever dry weekends we had to install these beautiful sprinkler pipes:
Tyler helped as much as possible ... a lot of digging and moral support :)
Aren't they pretty?
Then we had cash ... er top soil ... spread all around. I'll tell ya what - I will NEVER use the term "dirt cheap" again. It's not.
And THEN we got our beautiful grass ... I love it. Thank you so much everyone for all the help!
Messy, messy work:
End result: Beatiful yard.
Next on the agenda: re-size sandbox and fill, trees/bushes/flowers, retaining wall in back, cement on left side, garden planted, walk-ways formed, fence ....
... it's a work in progress. :)
