Sod Summer: Part 2

In May, Tal and I will be sodding our front yard. In the meantime, however, last weekend Tal cleaned up both sides of our house by removing the top layer of grass, roots, and leaves, as well as spraying Round-Up to keep the weeds away:  

Then, Savannah and I went to the landscape landfill and got a scoop of 

fill dirt, which Tal used to cover roots 

and holes on both sides of our house:

Our fairy princess even helped Daddy 

rake some dirt into the wheelbarrow:

Here's how Tal and I are progressing on our to-do list:

• Remove the 5 holly bushes in our front yard
• Repair or replace in-ground irrigation system
• Till the front yard to remove the top layer of grass, roots, and leaves 
• Put down compost
• Lay down sod in front yard
• On both sides of our house, remove grass and weeds
• On both sides of our house, put down landscape fabric and mulch for weed control
