Lotsa Dirt...and Lotsa Green!!

The final stages of the backyard project:
Fill dirt and sod!!
Because our dirt has so much clay in it, we had to bring in fill dirt to put on top so our sod would have a good "foundation" to root and grow!!

Because the patio was in place and done...and we couldn't run the bobcat over it, the dirt had to be taken to its needed location with a wheelbarrow.

Chuck's mom spent the day with us on Sunday and she was a huge help!



Three men from church came over to help us out on Sunday...we feel so thankful and blessed for all the people that have lent a helping hand to us!

 
After the fill dirt was in place on Sunday, Chuck put down the final piece of the puzzle on Monday...Sod!!
 
He was able to watch the crew at the sod farm cut our fresh sod!
 
 
That's a lot of green sod!!


A time consuming process!
 
Our friend and neighbor Jesse came over to help....Chuck was thankful!

Wow!! Green never looked so good!!

This backyard project would not have happened if it wasn't for my hard working husband Chuck and all the people that helped us out!
Weeks before this project ever began, Chuck was planning out things on paper, taking measurements, making lists, ordering materials and doing so much prep work before the job began!
We have a new backyard that we can enjoy for years to come and I'm so thankful for all of Chuck's hard work and dedication in this project!
