Before
Here we are on Day 1 - Brian rented a sod cutter that worked sub-par for half the job before breaking completely (look at our new Autumn Blaze Maple!)
Big smiles as we were excited, energetic & not sore yet...
Machine has now broken so Brian is ripping the sod out by hand... not fun.Look at all the heavy bags of sod ~ 34 bags in total!
Day 2: We're cleared! Julie laid the brick edging & jointing sand
Days 3 & 4: We worked tirelessly together on digging holes, laying the weedblock, bagging, hauling, raking, sweeping (etc.) & renting a sod cutter again to finish the job... whew! Out until after 11pm working in the dark every night ~ at least the stars are gorgeous out here in the country!
Finished! The plants are still small but hopefully everything will thrive over time.
Here are Ian's & Audrey's trees in the backyard... bigger than we anticipated at over 20 ft. tall
