So several months ago we started rebuilding our backyard… When we moved into the house our backyard was half dead grass and half dirt. So I tore out all the old grass and installed a cool sprinkler system, dug out a 15×15 area to put down a paver patio, and then we were going to re-sod the whole back yard, put in some nice plants around the wall area and then also have a couple of small trees put in.
So we got grass out , and tilled the backyard, and got the sprinkler system done and installed (which if I do say so myself is very very impressive system… 2 valve 9 head system that perfectly covers the backyard and doesn’t touch the patio..).
Then something prevented us from continuing… Life.. LOL I just got SOOOO busy that i never had the time to get back there.. so my perfectly nice tilled backyard turned into a weed forest.. again…
Last weekend, I FINALLY, got around to going to home depot for the round-up and a fresh line for my weed whacker and went at it… 4 hours later.. I had made my mark… Most of the weeds are gone, the rest are dying..
This weekend I will be able to go back and finish up the weed massacre and hopefully start moving the dirt around again so I can get the ground ready for the sod… March 31 is my self set dead line. I want to be done with this then….
Hopefully.
