September 10th, 2008 - Laying down the Sod

I got home at 12:30 pm this afternoon and half the lawn had been put down. The wire mesh you see there is to avoid any problems with moles and/or gophers. Roberto and his crew have done a great job thus far. By 2:00 pm all the sod had been laid and we discovered we were a little short. Will have to wait a couple of days to finish the job.


At 2 pm Maddie got up from her nap and strolled out to a new yard. Playing in the dirt was getting old. She wasn't too sure what to make of it and it took her some time before she was brave enough to take a few steps.

What a difference! I love it. Makena is going to have to earn his allowance now!

September 10th, 2008 - The Tree Area

The tree now has a nice circle of grass around it where we plan to put some flowers and decorative lighting.

In the picture below they are running a drum over the grass to remove any air bubbles. I wouldn't have known to do that. And to think that we were contemplating doing this on our own.

The Sod being delivered - Sept 9th, 2008

The sod was supposed to be delivered today but unfortunately they brought the wrong grass. Luckily the guy noticed the error before he unloaded the truck. We had to wait one more day for the grass to be delivered. What a let down! I wasn't there the next day to actually see the sod being unloaded.
