Backyard Update

So here's the good, the bad, and the ugly on our backyard project.  Needless to say, it's better (I use the term loosely), but there are still some issues.

First of all, this is what we've got...

 

As you see there is some green stuff and some bare ground.  There is grass, but there's a lot of clover out there now that we didn't have before.  According to the landscaper dude that did the work, that's pretty standard, and the clover will eventually go away once the grass takes over.  But, here's the problem...

When we had that big rain, it washed away some of our grass in the low spots of the yard.  Leaving it looking less than desirable.  The landscaper dude said he would come back and re-spray these spots that got washed away.  Well, that hasn't happened yet.

The other evening, Jason noticed some landscapers had just finished laying down an entire yard of sod in a new housing addition.  He stopped and asked them what they planned on doing with the leftover scraps.  They told him he could have them.  So, he laid the scraps down along the house and patio where the seed had been washed away.

The best grass growth we have is under our big tree.  Now, to just get the rest of the yard in that same condition.

But there is some good news....

Our next door neighbor agreed to pay to replace our craptastic fence if Jason would do the labor and put it up.

Stay tuned for following updates.  I'll try not to be such a slacker like I have been.
