This originally was a rough draft plan I was discussing with a friend (Yep my only follower and commentor). My backyard currently consists of mostly dirt and weeds. What sod I did put down last year was burned off from the sun (thank you sun)! This year I'm motivated to try again, because a friend of ours gave us a huge intex above ground pool for free (SWEET! and Thank You!) Were still deciding on weather or not to put the pool up, but if I have a pool I can't LIVE with looking at my crappy yard. So I decided to do something about it. When I stand on my patio, this is the left side of our yard. I want to do something along the house for sure.
