One of our favorite places to spend time is our backyard. Unfortunately, years of wear and tear, 160 lbs of dog running on it, sprinkler issues, drainage problems, Texas clay, etc. really left us in sad shape. Scott worked with some hardscape designers and came up with an awesome plan-- we hired a company to do the manual labor of it (took about a week) which included excavating, filling, placing, and dealing with drainage and more sprinkler issues.
Alas, it is almost complete! It is definitely usable-- the kids LOVE racing their pushcarts and scooters sround the tree wells and lining up the cars/toys on the border. We kept the swing(s) and will move back in some of the equipment.
Laid sod this morning-- it has 30 days to grow and took root as per laws governing our water restrictions... c'mon, grass grow!!
Birds are slow to come back to the feeder, but our friendly yellow-bellied sap-sucker has made a daily appearance!
I'm going to try and see if this link works-- any of you tech people, feel free to comment.
