New and Improved


Our backyard is finished! The landscapers finished up yesterday and the hydroseed company came out and sprayed down the new seed this afternoon. It looks so much better. Now we just need to water and feed this new lawn and hope that it comes up think and green. We had two more maples put in, 3 evergreen trees, some plants and ornamental grasses- along with 18 yards of river rock. It'll be nice once the grass grows so Chaco can go back out and play. Our backyard is no longer an eye sore!

Manual Labor


We hired a landscaping company to come out and work in our backyard. The whole thing needs to be re-done. Whoever put the sod in last time did a horrible job. They didn't till the dirt, so they laid the sod right on top of the hard hard clay we have here in Idaho. I would assume the original owners had sod put in about 3 years ago, put you could walk right up to the grass today and pull up chunks of sod that never rooted in the dirt. Today the landscaper tilled up the entire backyard. It already looks better, at least we have a consistent look now, and not just some patching grass full of weeds which floods every time it rains. They are adding some trees and plants in the yard, along with some rock too. It'll look nice. The last thing the landscaper will do is hydro-seed the lawn. Within a month, we should have nice grass growing. We can't wait!
