Dirt Devils 01
Flip Back a Few Years And You'll Recall The Entire Yard Was Reseeded After Replacing the Driveway.
Dirt Devils 02
Unfortunately, the Majority of the Top Soil in the Back Washed Away Because We Didn't Have Adequate Sun to Keep the Grass.
Dirt Devils 03
So We Had The Trees Trimmed, And...
Dirt Devils 04
... the Neighbor Took Down a Large Tree That Was Shading Much of the Back.
Dirt Devils 05
Fall is a GREAT Time to Grow Grass, So...
Dirt Devils 06
... We Thought We'd Give It Another Try!
Dirt Devils 07
This is the First 10 Cubic Yards of Top Soil.
Dirt Devils 08
We Were Able to Get Most of it Moved Before The 2nd Load Arrived.
Dirt Devils 09
The Driver Was Very Helpful in Making Sure the Load Was Properly Placed on the Driveway.

Here Comes the Back Ache!
Dirt Devils 11
He Also Brought The Additional Supplies - Which Turned Out to be Insufficient for Our Job!
Dirt Devils 12
The 2nd Load Was Not Enough, So We Ordered a 3rd (And Could Have Used a 4th But We Were DONE!).
Dirt Devils 13
We Had Large Mole Hills Everywhere, Because...
Dirt Devils 14
... The First Objective Was to Get It Off The Driveway.

Anita Built Up Her Feeding Area Too.

We Borrowed The Neighbor's Large Wheel Barrow. Helped Move Dirt Quickly But Weighed Much More Than Ours When Full.

Enjoying a Break With Anita During the Project.

We Were Up Until 1:00 AM The 2nd Day Spreading Top Soil, Then...
Dirt Devils 19
... Our Friend Mel Mittermiller Came Out to Help Me Seed & Straw.
Dirt Devils 20
The Spot In The Front Covers The Sunken Ditch for the New Water Main.
Dirt Devils 21
We Got The Seed Down Before The Leaves Fall, And...
Dirt Devils 22
... We Were Fortunate to Get a Week of Rain!
Dirt Devils 23
Anita Started Placing Pine Straw Around the Landscaping.
Dirt Devils 24
The Grade of the Yard Looks Good, And...
Dirt Devils 25
... So Does The New Grass - Thanx Mel!
Dirt Devils 26
We'll Let It Grow Until It Seeds, Then...
Dirt Devils 27
... We'll Pick Out The Leaves by Hand (YUCK) and Cut It For The First Time.

I'll Post More Photos As The Growing Season Progresses - Come Back!
