More hard work today.

We dug up the gravel and leveled up the ground behind the garage.

This is the area that the stairs off the deck lead onto.

It was all gravel and very unlevel.

Brent hauled some dirt in and we leveled it out.

I should really stop saying 'we'.....I did what I could to help, but he did all the real work :)

I am excited for this to be green and smooth.

It feels like our yard got even bigger.....with more usable running space.

We haven't yet decided if we will sod or not.

It is kinda a high traffic area, so seeding it will be kinda a hassle.

But, sod is just so expensive!

The seed we planted up front is coming in really nice.

But like I said....it is high traffic and with the seed, it needs to be kept wet.

We will see.

We also got some more gravel so finish up the road behind the retaining wall.

The kids love it when we have these little mountains for them to climb on :)

Here's a shot of after we spread the dirt out.....and Brent took out the big stump we had in the middle of it.

Just imagine how nice it will look green.
