Our very first post was about our new home...well, the inside at least. When we first moved into our house we were not crazy about the yard. It was a great size, but over fifty percent of it was gravel and dirt and we are more partial to grass. Although, when it comes to grass we might be in the minority in this state. We've noticed that grass and yards are not a priority here. Actually, at the exact same time we were removing rock to put down grass, our neighbor was removing grass to outline her yard with rocks.
We could not have gotten anything accomplished without the help from a couple of our friends who gave up many of their afternoons helping us complete this huge task. Thank you over and over again Dagan, Nicki, Tyler, Miles, and Rich - we seriously cannot say thank you enough!
Here are some before shots of the yard:
After the gravel was removed and the dirt was down:

The beautiful sod!
The finished product!!Side Yard - we decided to leave the gravel and "flower beds" here and just re-planted some stuff that was in the yard previously.
Corner with garden - our favorite part
Close up of the garden. We're attempting to grow watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, banana peppers, chili peppers, jalapenos, bell peppers, pumpkin, and broccoli.
The entire yard
You can definitely tell what is sod based on the shade of green, but we don't care - we just love staring at grass!
View from the other side. No need to mention that Ty absolutely LOVES it!
