We recently had to install a new lawn after destroying it last year while waterproofing our basement.  We had to excavate around the foundation of our house, and the machines we used completely destroyed our lawn.  So, we set out to do some landscaping this spring.  And, we’re starting to see green grass!!!!

Here are some pictures of the lawn install progress…

More to come Next Spring!  We are planning to save up a good amount of money to put some bushes, plants, and maybe a couple trees in next spring.  This install was about $2000 in labor and another $1000 in materials.  That is not including what we did with the perimeter.  Home improvements definitely aren’t cheep!

Our next project will be to add a couple of rooms in the basement.  Hopefully, we will have the time and money to do that this winter.  It’s getting a little cramped in our 1100 square ft house with four children!
