238- More Grass!

We have slowly been piecing our yard together a little at a time.. and very frugally! 

The little bit of sod we had in the backyard he got for free. He watches KSL every day for new things we need at the house. He has been on a sod hunt lately. One of his FAVORITE things to do is barter and talk people down in price. He lowballs them every time and almost always gets it for that. He was texting back and forth with some guy over dinner who had a bunch of sod to get rid off.. brand new straight off the pallet. He'd over bid a job and told Chris he could get 1500 sq feet for $75. We were so excited. We hooked on the trailer and headed to Kaysville. When we got there the guy only had about 700 sq feet left. We were pretty bummed but he sold it to us for $40 so we couldnt complain really! We loaded it all up and headed home.

 First thing we decided to do was fill in our bald spot out front. Even though he just put grass seed down we werent expecting sod and figured might as well make it look good from the road first. You can see there are some patchy spots on the lawn. He filled those in with seed too and hopefully by next year it will be nice and lush!

 Heres what it looks like now!

 Then we started to fill in the one empty spot in the back yard and extend it out a little more. For right now we still use that one drive back into the yard so we didnt want to sod that in

And after we layed it all down. Its not even but its a start! We were going to fill in that part closer to the garage with concrete and make all those stepping stones and squares all one piece of concrete eventually but figured might as well grass it for now instead of leaving it an empty spot. The best part was irrigation came early that next morning so all the sod got watered in really good!
