This has been a very productive week for the backyard. Wednesday we had the curbing laid and today we got to put in the sod. We got started at about 8am and finished around noon. There's nothing better than an instant backyard. The kids hung out with us outside while we worked. Ethan assigned himself the job of unrolling each strip of grass we put down, he was a good little helper. Here are some before and after pics.
The curbing before the grass...
The finished product along with Ethan's hard hat dead center...
Towards the end the boys got tired and went inside. They were so excited to come see the grass all finished, so we decided to turn on the sprinklers and let them get wet.
We've been telling them that this is something they would be able to do a lot once the grass was in. We intentionally got sprinklers that didn't spray too hard so they could play in them. They had a blast. Ethan told me he wanted to play in them everyday.Porter decided he was thirsty and helped himself...
This picture cracks me up. They are trying to use the "force" against the water.
After the water turned off Ethan just laid down to enjoy the grass...he really needs to work on his tan!!
Our next few projects:-Fill the planter areas
-Buy and assemble a swing set
-Lots of mulch!
Once those things are done, the bottom level of our yard will be complete, besides the finishing touches on the retaining walls. I can't wait to be able to send the boys outside to play!!

Yay! If your boys are anything like mine (and the way we were as kids) they won't even notice the grass and they'll just go dig in the dirt. I am down to one spoon in my drawer. Ryan says we should buy a metal detector. I am so happy for you and proud that you got it done with 22 days to spare! Props to Roberto! Ryan usually takes on the projects the week he is home "helping" me with the baby. Good plan Rob. I thank you FOR Jenny.
It looks great! HOw nice to have it done!!!
I'm so happy for you guys! It looks great! Good job Rob!
The yard looks great. Our girls love the sprinklers too. Who needs a pool? Tim is out mowing the lawn right now, it's nice to have a yard but it's so much work. What's hard for us is no fences Rachel loves to run right out into the street. So I'm jealous that its all fenced in and beautiful and you will be able to garden without worrying about the kids too much.
so jealous...I want a backyard so bad. Someday, someday I keep telling myself
Looks great! Congrats! Do you guys hire yourselves out for landscaping in the LA area?
