Landscraping 2

Posted at 9:26 am under Projects

This is a follow-up to my earlier post, Landscraping 1.

Well, things happened for us (praise the Lord) more quickly than I ever thought they would or could. The awful pit that was our back yard is now so lush and inviting, it looks like a park back there. There are no trees or shrubs yet — those will have to come later as finances allow. The shed is still pending for the same reason, and the flower seeds that Camille planted for a little more immediate color have yet to sprout… but the hardest and most dramatic work is done. The transformation is mind-blowing. I’m standing here looking out the kitchen window at it all: “Is that my back yard? MY back yard?”

Almost as amazing to me that it’s done is that it was done in one week. The men from Stagg’s Landscaping — I can’t compliment them enough — showed up onSaturday, May 3 and finished their portion of the job on Monday, May 5. Then I got to work… and work I did! I was out there every day, sweating and puffing. On Thursday Camille and I put the sod in, and I spread mulch (mulch and more mulch) through Saturday night.

I think the effort was worth it! See for yourself:
