Landscaping - Day One

This weekend's home improvement project is to level out the backyard and get rid of the "garden" (the fenced off area in the background where we put all our grass clippings and other gardening debris).

Before - notice how the lawn slopes towards the house; when playing soccer with Ronan the ball would always go off course.

Collin rented an excavator and was excited to use it...men and their toys!

After

And the project continues. We plan to build a low retaining wall along the back fence (notice the two test brincks on the left hand side of the picture) and then install a fence along the sides of the property. The new sod arrives on Monday!
