Better Home and Garden

Our backyard was in need of some work.  There was a major slope and a large sand pit from after the flood in 2009.  The dogs loved the sand pit.  They would roll in it, then go inside and shake.  Fun times for a neat freak.  Anyhow, Kirk has taken on the project.  He ordered 3...that's right THREE full sized dump trucks full of dirt.  He also ordered 5 pallets of sod.  And lets not forget the 250 pavers, which he intended to lay himself.  Work started about 4 weeks ago.  He has been a busy beaver. 



Our backyard before we bought the home...mostly...before the dogs arrived. 





After the dogs arrived...here you can see the sand pit.  And me torturing the dogs.



The dirt arrived.  And so did some guy with a Bob Cat to spread it.

The supervisors.

Sod arrived! 

We asked Uncle Al to help lay it.

And here are the pavers!  Aren't they beautiful.  This was a MUCH bigger job than Kirk expected.

And this is what we have so far.  Obviously, those beds need to be filled.  It's a work in progress!
