Backyard Take 2: Stage 1

Well Alex and I decided to try and tackle our backyard ourselves in the fall (see post/pictures from like October). We didn't really get very far. We removed most of the jungle of weeds that had shown up over the summer and Alex layed a brick perimeter and a started a small patio out of pavers for our fire pit. Since then we've come to our senses and realized we don't know enough or do we have the time to complete this task in right manner. We hired a local brother duo to do our dirty work (literally MUD!). One brother owns an irrigation business and much to my dad's delight sell's RainBird products (just like my dad hehe). The other brother has a landscaping business. It's working out really well so far. Last week we got our sprinklers and then this week they're doing the sod and other landscaping (i.e. fixing our bricks, finishing the patio, planting some plants and laying rock). The pictures below are after the sprinklers were put in. Today they are leveling the yard and getting it ready for some sod...YAY GRASS!!!! Gabby will be so excited :) I know Alex and I are!!! More pictures to come...
