Here are the before pictures, in July when the yard was at its worse. The sad part is the previous owner at some point had a nice lanscaped yard, it just died and weeds took over! (and she didn't have sprinklers back there)
On Saturday we had lots of help from Russell's parents,digging trenches and putting in the sprinkler lines. Sienna spent lots of time jumping away in her jumperoo on the patio. We had 1250 sq feet of sod delivered which we put down on Sunday with help from his parents and brothers! Thank goodness for hardworking, always-there-to-help family!!
We are so excited for Sienna to have a lawn to run around on (not in a rush for that part though). I can picture the easter egg hunts, birthday parties, bbq's and sprinkler playtime. Oh, and us sitting in the evening after work with a glass of wine, grilling up dinner with sienna chasing the dogs.
Next on the to-do list for the backyard includes paving the side yard (potential parking for the boat/rv we don't have, or space for sienna to ride her tricycle/rollerskate), building a retaining wall along side fence, cleaning out the fenceline and planting shrubs and plants of some kind, maybe some fruit trees, a play structure, a grapevine or two, herb and veggie garden... i could go on and on... and don't get me started with the wishlist of the inside of the house, if we only had MONEY and TIME!
