Tal and I started our 2014 yard makeover on December 8, 2013:
We completed our project 6 months and 22 posts later!
Over the last 6 months, Tal and I have built Savannah's play area...
...laid 48 rolls of sod in our backyard...
...and spread 7 truckloads of mulch around the exterior of our house.
When Tal and I bought our house 3.5 years ago,
our backyard was an eyesore:
It was overrun with weeds:
Many bushes and trees were dead, dying,
and/or overgrown due to lack of maintenance:
Now all four sides of our house look attractive and well-maintained:
Before starting our 2014 backyard makeover, Tal and I saved $3,000.
We finished the project a little under budget. Here's a breakdown of our expenses:
$1,600 Playset
$400 Plastic Playground Border$100 Landscape Fabric and Stakes
$126 Mulch (7 truckloads)
$70 Sod Cutter Rental
$30 Dump
$446 Sod, Compost, and Delivery
$160 Rain Barrels

Now that Tal and I are finished with our yard makeover,
we are excited to start working on Hadley's nursery!
