And the Answer is.....SOD

We are in the process of re-doing parts of the yard and after ripping out much of the landscaping we were faced with the decision....seed, hydro-seed or sod. Being fairly impatient when it comes to getting a job completed, I made the executive decision to go with sod.

After many hours of digging out the old landscaping and spreading 15 cubic yards of nice black dirt, it was time for the sod truck to arrive.




Dean Larson from Larson Sod Company delivered four pallets of beautiful sod and strategically placed them so we wouldn't have to lug the rolls too far.

Thank goodness our oldest son Ben was available to help Friday afternoon. He is really good about rolling up his sleeves and digging in.


In about four hours we did some more prep work and laid down 1900 square feet of sod. What an improvement!




There are still a few dirt piles scattered about. They will be smoothed out and we will seed those areas and the areas adjacent to the new sod.

Here is a short preview of my next blog entry. As I write this, there are hundreds of designer purses scattered around the house and many, many women drinking and lusting over these leather creations.

If I can sneak upstairs and shoot a few pictures for you, I will.

Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
