Ever wondered past an amazing yard & thought -”I want that” well I have! And for the past few years my husband & I have been trying to achieve our perfect yard a little at a time. 

We have done a bit here & a little bit there, we have made great headway, but there is just a little piece of our landscape that is a major thorn in my side. We have been using it as a dog kennel for lack of time & resources, but it is really useless space that is always stinky & bare.

So when I got the call that my husband had scored just enough FREE sod to complete the yard & go from drab to fab I was so excited! As exstatic as I was there was a lot to be done & if you know sod you know the clock starts as soon as it’s cut, and by the time I got the call it had already been about 10 hours

This little project entailed the ripping out of a fence, moving of a ton of rock that had been there for five years, an extension of our sprinkler system, ground prep, carrying the sod from the street , & finally laying it! There was only two of us & the bulk of the work had to be done by me since my husband was at work! Did I mention I have two small kids & a cold!

We settled in for a long days work, and I do mean long…..  This one just about killed me! My hubby & I busted it out but it was a total time crunch & everything else got put on hold! So now we have a beautiful yard that my husband & I are very proud of & tired from, and a messy kitchen that has not been touched in two days!

If you get free sod you just have to sacrifice your time, energy, & life until it is done! It is worth it though
