This is the only “BEFORE” picture I could find of the grass in our backyard. It’s Leo’s birthday weekend—May of this year. The grass in our backyard should have been green!
Instead, we barely had any. I would look out the window and say, “Our backyard makes me sad.”
Leo always wants to go back there because that’s where the basketball net and swing are. But it’s so depressing to trek through the sandy, rocky, sometimes muddy yard to retrieve basketballs.
Finally, we couldn’t take it anymore. We called in a specialist who said it would cost $1,300 to make our lawn look good. We needed fescue sod, he said.
We almost just accepted that and then luckily, we found Cesar. Cesar said we could do fescue seed (rather than sod) for more like $600. We liked the sound of that.
Cesar and his team planted the seed and for a couple of weeks we just saw a bunch of straw in the backyard. And then one day…
GRASS! TONS OF BRIGHT GREEN GRASS!
We are so happy with our new lawn! Cesar says we can’t walk on it for a few more weeks but that’s okay with us. We just like looking at it from the back window. “Our grass makes me happy,” we now say.
I can’t wait to roll around in it or better yet, chase after basketballs.
