Brian and I have been trying to get grass to grow in our backyard for a couple of years now...with zero luck. We would put grass seed out, it would sprout sweet little blades of grass and then it would rain, or rather "gully wash" and send it all down stream to the corner of the yard leaving us with this...
Don't get me wrong sand is nice...when you're at the beach! But look at this...
And this
And this
It was awful
So we gave up. This year we broke down and decided sod was our only hope. We hired Brian McCrory owner/operator of McCrory Lawn Care. "You grow it we mow it" If you're local and need sod or someone to mow your lawn, we HIGHLY recommend Brian.
First things first. He got rid of the existing "grass"
Then he called in some help. This is Matt.
Matt helped smooth everything out.
It was a late night but they got everything prepped and ready for grass.
Dirt.
The next morning he came by with this on his way to pick up our sod.
"It's better than a wheelbarrow"
There it is! (That's DJ, more help)
Here we go!
"What's gonna work? Teamwork"
One.....
They even let EG help. Never mind that she had showered for the day and was in her pj's...this was grass!
It went a lot faster than I thought it would.
Even with Five's help
And Korduroy's....
Done for the night.
The dogs exploring phase I
Let the watering begin!
Poor girl has never had grass in her backyard before now.
Before I knew it they were done.
And it was beautiful!
We love it!
