It has been raining around here lately. A LOT. Just thought I would throw that out there.
We have lived in our house for almost 10 months now. When we moved in, the backyard was kind of disgusting. It really was. I wanted to share the before and after pictures, because we (and when I saw we, I mean mostly Brett) have put in a lot of work on this yard.
The yard was hard dirt, rocks, full of sticks, lumpy, and hardly any grass. You can see in the picture where that cage is. The previous owners took that with them and left in its spot just dirt and holes from their dogs. After a lot of work, some of which I have posted about before - we have this:
These pictures are taken just about a year apart too. I took the first one when we came and made an offer on the house last April. I just took the 2nd one today (hence the rain). The spot right in the middle that you see is where we had a fire pit this past fall. We left some bricks there and so some grass got killed. A few weeks ago, we over seeded everything and rented this flatter outer thing. HAHA. I am sure there is a proper name for it, but basically it is this big drum with water in it that you push and it flattens out dirt lumps.
We are so ready for some sunshine and warm weather around here!
Wow!! Your yard looks fantastic! You guys did a great job (want to come seed our yard?). Can't wait to see what else you do around there... so fun!
ReplyDeleteHow come I posted a comment (a nice long one) yesterday and now it isn't here? Grrrr. Nice lawn! I thought those things had hitches for tractors. Why didn't you help, Emily? Someone had to take the picture?

Wow, the lawn looks GOOD! Not that I'm surprised, you guys put a lot of work into it! All that work right there sure raised the value of your home in MY book! Your flowers sure are pretty, too. I can't wait for spring/summer (mostly summer) to get here. I walked to class this morning and was greeted by SNOW. NOT OKAY.
