Our Sod

This past September, we finally broke down, ignored our pride, and purchased sod for our back and side yards. We have toiled so much in trying to get a lawn to grow using seeds, topsoil, fertilizers, etc., and it was a pain! The sod is so easy. Cheating? Yes. Easy? Yes. Instant gratification? Yes (that is after it was all laid by a crew of twenty people.)

Here are some photos in order of our emerging, insta-back-yard.

Above are some of the sixteen pallets of sod we ordered.

Kasey laying the first piece!

Anne playing on the new sod... ahhhh!

Our new back lawn!

I absolutely love living on a full acre lot, but it sure takes a lot of work! We only fenced off 1/2-2/3 of our lot, and even that is a lot to take care of. I want to use the currently unfenced section for horses one day, but let's see if that will actually happen... maybe if someone drops off a huge check for us at our front door. :-)
