Backyard Grass

Original backyard when we purchased home in July 2008.




Nice tall weeds and overgrown trees.


I removed about 10 plants around the perimeter and 2 trees. Seed was planted in October 2008.

Professionals at work. Laying seed is a highly specialized skill.

This is the seed after 2 weeks.



It is thin in some areas. Mostly on the south side of yard where there is not that much sun.

The thick grass area in the bottom right was a test area that was planted in Sept 2008 to see if seed would grow in the soil before I seeded the whole backyard.






Seed after the 2nd mowing. Seed is about 6 weeks old in the following photos.










The perimeter around the house and the north fence is bare dirt. Eventually some type of path/walkway will be complete here.











New mower to cut grass.






There were some sprinklers in the backyard, but they were above ground and had manual valves. I installed automatic sprinkler valves with a control panel in the garage. All sprinklers are now in the ground and on a timer.
