Our Summer Project...COMPLETE

This fall we began preparing for our new back yard. Our yard had no sprinkler system and by june was burned to a crisp each year because it was planted on rocks. So we decieded we needed to start over. First we hauled in dirt. It was put there in the fall, it made a great snow hill in the winter, and a mudpit this spring.
THen we brought in a tractor and dug it up/

Somehow I deleted the trenches picture, but there were many, Russ dug them and put in the sprinkler system and then I filled them in. It was a ton of work.
Next we ordered sod. This was an extravagance that we planned from the beginning. With three kids and a dog, grass seed does not do that well.

Finally we hired someone to come and put in curbing. Before we had wood outlining things, that had rotted and helped house the bugs that ate out garden. So this is the completed yard. We love it!!
