    Default pics of my backyard

    Well I hope the pics load for you. Yesterday we had many, many dump truck full loads of dirt delivered to our house. We are trying to level out our yard so it doesn't flood any. My yard is so disgusting and this isn't even the before part. When we bought the house half of the yard was filled with ivy and weeds. To make a long story short we hired someone (ok....6 men) to clear the yard for us. 40,000 lbs of yard debris later this is what my yard looks like now.

    After the dirt is spread out, which should be this week our lawn guy will aerate (sp) plant the seed and fertilize the front and back.

    It's not working for me. I'll have my mom post them for me because I can't figure out how to make these pics smaller.

    Sorry!!

    Sara is going to help me!! At least I know it will be done right!!

    I really do feel like that we should have called HGTV or something similar to do a before and after. I'm saying this even before I have gotten to complete my "after". Or I should have called them in for landscapers challenge!! Could have had my yard done by professionals!! And on TV!!!!

    That's a lot of dirt!! By spring, I bet you will have a nice yard to relax in. Hope you get lots of enjoyment out of it.

    That is only about 1/4 of the backyard that you see. It's a lot but we know once we have grass and the yard leveled out we are really going to enjoy it!! It's just a mess now but I can see light at the end!!!!

    I'll keep you updated with what is going on.

    Thank you Sara for posting these for me.
