Lawn Improvement





Well today we made a major investment in our new home. Even though we are renting we fell in love with this place. The folks who lived here before just worked all the time and did not take the time to care for this house and property like it deserves. They did nothing to the lawn and it is almost gone. They let old boats sit on the grass that killed off big patches of it. So after we moved in we power washed down the deck and got off all the green stuff and cleaned the house and shampooed the rugs. Put in new caulking in bathrooms. Now the big project the yard.

We hired a lawn care company to the tune of $677.00 for the year to get this yard in shape. They analysed the lawn they said it need aerating, potassium which they did today. Told us we need to buy grass plugs to fill in the bare spots. And they will weed and feed it every six weeks for the next year.

So off to Lowe's we went and bought the grass plugs and two sprinklers and some yard tools. We took pictures and we will update them as the yard improves. We hope to make this home and yard something special. And we hope to stay here for a long long time.
