Yard project


One section of our backyard has always been a bit of a disaster.  We partially fixed it two years ago, but our path was cracking and the slate rocks were broken so dad cleared it all out in March and there was nothing but dirt left.  Under the trampoline and by the tree was looking pretty miserable as well because the bark was no longer covering the ripped weed barrier, so when I looked out my kitchen window, all I saw was weeds, dirt and ripped black paper.  So, after all the sports stopped, we had a few weekends at home and it was time to take care of the mess.  We decided to do artificial grass since its forgiving and pretty easy to work with but we had one problem...the trampoline was too big to move anywhere, so it was tricky.  The trampoline took all 4 of us to lift and even then it barely came off the ground.  We somehow made it work and I can't tell you how much nicer it is!!!

 The neighbors tree is a little bit of a problem, dropping stuff all over the place.  We never used to see it since it was bark and dirt, so now we have a little maintenance, but I don't mind blowing.
