Yardwork

Justin has been working extra hard on our lawn lately.  I swear we’re in a neighborhood competition for the best lawn that I don’t know about.  He has been outside 24/7 every weekend working away.  I will share what he has been up to so far.

He re-sodded the entire yard!  I came home one weekend to this.

Two pallets! I am going to let you in on a secret… our yard is not that big.  I was wondering if he would actually need this much sod and it turned out he used every piece.  He rented a huge tiller from Lowes.

Of course I took a picture of it. I also got a few pictures of Justin hard at work.

He did a great job, looks awesome.  He also dug out the stumps from the trees he cut down last week and planted this cute tree.

He wasn’t done there, he also dug two trenches that went out toward the corners of our yard. He added drain pipes that connected to our gutter drains off of our back patio.  He did this because when it rained we had a lake on our back patio.

He worked his butt off and the drain pipes worked well, it has rained since and we have no more lake! woo hoo!

I also added some flowers out back.

This stand was a gift from Sandy(love it) and the plant is a gift from Justin’s grandma.

I think the backyard is coming together.  Now it is safe for the dogs and pretty for us to look at.
