Front Yard Remodel

So, as most of you know from pulling up to our house, we have had nothing but dirt in our front yard for some time now...




We pulled out all the old grass and stones in order to redo everything, but didn't get to putting in the new stuff UNTIL just a few weeks ago! 

Brad and his dad put down all new sod for the front lawn and all fresh mulch using a no-dig edging as the divider. 




Since the sod comes in roles, they need to be cut to fit!


Eventually, the lines between the rows will fade as the grass grows and fills the gaps. 

We are watering pretty frequently right now, since the temp outside hit triple digits! 😁
But here it is:) 



The lower area is still dirt for the time being, until Brad buys a new truck and we can get a few loads of sand! We are going to power wash and lay all of the slabs of shale down again with the sand between! 
 
It used to look like this: 


It was actually a lot of maintenance and always looked bad because of the weeds! I couldn't pull them fast enough! 

Because of this, we are going to lay a new weed barrier and then the sand on top and between the shale slabs to prevent weeds from growing in the cracks. 

Here's some of my pinspiration: 



So excited! 

On a side note, Brad also let me buy a new toy from Home Depot that I am absolutely SO happy about! 

It's a BACKPACK BLOWER!! 😜😜


We used to have a baby one like this:


But now...... 😈 


BEST BLOWER EVER
