Project We Did to Cover the Tree Roots in Our Yard.

Old tires we cleaned and painted, old tricycle painted, an old pot painted. It was hard mowing the grass with so many tree roots right there. A little work and it's beautiful.

  • 48 sod pieces done!

Backyard Playground

We jumped this project after finding this playset on super sale. At this point I decided to put down sod before the weekend of thunderstorms come. We hope the rain will give us a good ...»
start rooting the sod. The front part was ready for sod, but we are waiting to sod the back and underneath parts. Underneath we want to replace the wood blocks (placed by the playset installers) leveling the playset with concrete pavers. In the back we are grading down so the down hill slope continues to be more subtle yet enough for decent drainage. Then I will grade down an L piece where the slide comes out for additional play area and roomier slide landing. As for the empty part in the front with the sod? I'm thinking plastic kiddie swimming pool for this incoming hot summer. This area has me excited about other backyard improvements!
