Well, when we moved into our house just over a year ago we basically had no yard. Thanks to my brother-in-law Justin, we were able to get sod laid in our front yard last summer and now it looks gorgeous! But our backyard was left untouched and by the time spring rolled around, it needed some major TLC. So, here's some pictures of what we've done with the backyard so far. Our original plan was to seed it but now our hope is to be able to find some free or really cheap sod, we're just waiting for the opportune buy. Hopefully we can find some soon before it's too late.
The before-weeds & forest galore!

The dead 'lawn' after spraying a whole lot of weed killer on it
The rota tilling, racking, and rolling process. :-)
Germ is in the back rota tilling, Steve's on the right racking, and Spencer's on the left rolling
Cooper had some fun rolling :-)

Such a helper! :-)
After days and hours of hard work and the findings of snakes and squishing of a dozen big, ugly, and egg filled wolf spiders, it's finally ready for some grass!
The side-after we laid SOME seed & watered it for a while
Once the grass is ready we hope to have a fun backyard with a trampoline, swimming pool, swing set, hammock, and lawn furniture. But that's hopefully someday. :-)
