New Grass

New Grass
Axel helped Papa all day laying pavers

Anyone that knows Larry, knows how much he loves to mow the lawn and keep it beautiful. He also likes to keep it short. We found out the hard way it should be left a little longer in the winter. But the previous 6 winters were different than the last. At one point we had 5 days of below freezing temperatures. Well, when spring came and everyone elses yards we greening up, this is what ours looked like. Apparently ours froze to death, not just dormant. As with any other project, it became more than just grass. We decided the tree had to go. It was badly shaped , killed the grass, and was too close to the sewer lines. The tree stump needed to be removed...it was cheaper and easier to pay someone to grind it out, we also contracted him to remove the dead turf and lay new sod. I also wanted a brick path in front, we used the pavers removed from the back when we put the deck in.
