A long Time Coming

We've been in this house for almost 2 years and we finally committed to cleaning up the backyard. After getting quotes ranging from $900 - $1800 to get to the finished product Kiel took it upon himself to get it done. With the help of his brothers they finished the job this morning!!! So here are some pictures from Beginning to end!!!
When we first moved in we have cactus Galore!!!!! To get rid of all of it was the first project! And the next picture we got rid of that tree and cactus... that 2nd tree started to slowly die...
These are pictures without the cactus and tree... we next layed more rock to fill in the dirt...

Next Kiel, me...(kinda) and Sean dug up the old sprinkler system and laid new piping and sprinkler heads...

Next and Finally was to lay SOD!!! Yeah!!!! We're finished! It took us about a week and half but we only spent around $350 for Everything! (minus the removal of cactus...)

OK... now I'm ready to come bask in the sun. You have the perfect backyard and I'll supply the drinks and suntan lotion. The snow here is starting to get to me a little. Your yard looks GrEaT!
