Finally a real back yard!

For any of you who have been to our house in Leander you know about our awful back yard situation. The guy who lived there before us made the yard into a playground area, a place for an above ground pool and a place for a trampoline. Not to mention a BBQ grill and lamp post concreted into the ground. The lamp post was pretty cool, but hey, this ain't Narnia!

That was my back yard. A pain to no end, an eye sore, the bane of my existence.... maybe that's going a bit far, but nonetheless I did not like my back yard. Dreams of solid green, a full yard of grass filled my head. Reality of not having any where to dispose of tons of rock and boulders set in quickly. Not to mention the fact that it would be a heck of a lot of back breaking work to clean that mess up. Ah the joys of working for a landscape company...

Behold, my new back yard.... in progress!

I had a few of our workers come over to clean the mess up for me, and in a span of 2 days they got the job done. One day for removing the rock and getting the area ready for grass, and the next day to lay the grass.

And man oh man does it look awesome. Its amazing how it makes the yard feel so much bigger. Maggie and Zoe are loving it, and Marleene and I love to look out into the back and marvel at our new yard.
