The Grass is Always Greener...

When we moved into our house, we knew that the back yard was a disaster. What we didn't know was that the job would prove to be bigger than we could handle in a few Saturdays. So, we hired a landscaping company to come in and do it for us. Phew. This week our back yard has turned from embarrassing to beautiful. In 3 days.
Watch this transformation: 

BEFORE

 Tarp filled with a few Saturdays' worth of work. Not. Worth. It. 
 The dogs had nowhere to play:(
























PROCESS


 K marking off where our stone patio and fire pit will go
 Cham supervising
 I was scared to go outside while they worked. The Bobcat was just getting started!
 K overseeing the job
Semi-After



Ahhh... breath of fresh air!

Cham Cham giving it a once-over














Today they took the strange waves away and finished the rest of the yard

Tomorrow I go thrifting and K gets pinestraw or mulch or whatever it is you put under trees where grass won't grow. Once we get it all laid out I'll give ya'll the final "After" pictures.

Can I get a "Abra Ca Dabra" ?! 


Until Next Time, 
The Guff
