The Side Yard Saga
For those of you unfamiliar with the details of the side yard...let's just say the landscaping was not "straight forward". Essentially, there were more rocks (big!) than clay, and the clay was as hard as the rocks. Additionally, drainage was a real issue. There was supposed to be a swale, but the builders didn't grade the property correctly, so we not only had to dig an underground drain (with perf pipe and gravel), but had to make it deep because the vents on the foundation have to have the ground at least two inches below them to be up to code. Anyway...it was a pain. Still not finished, but for those who saw it before grass...I think you'll agree that this is a great improvement! I got fifteen rolls of sod this morning and laid the last bit to connect the grass to the backyard that was already done. Feels good!

That looks really good...looks like a lot of work though. I still don't know how you did it without hurting yourself!
Did you handle all that sod by yourself?? That's a HUGE job, sod is so heavy...sure looks good, though, really makes things look spiffy. Don't overdo it, just because you are the solo chief cook-bottle washer - yard crew now!
your yard looks great! It does look like a lot of work but it will make the house look that much more finished! How are you holding up all by your lonesome? Can't wait to see ya at Christmas!
Your yard looks excellent. I wish you could come help with ours. It snowed today, so maybe we'll put it all on hold until next year.
