Backyard Evolution - Watching Grass Grow

So you might will call me crazy when I tell you that having your own patch of green lawn is da bomb!

Seriously though, it is.

Remember when I showed you the condition of our backyard when we moved in to our new home in 2011?

as it was in 2011

Skip forward two-ish years and we are now proud owners of one seriously green patch of grass...

Gah! totally love it, I could look at it all day.  (Ignore the surrounding garden beds, they are a work in progress!).

Our yard has gone from, pavers & rocks, to dirt & dust and now to the greenest of green...

Tell me you don't think it looks ah-mazeballs!?

I must confess we had a professional come do all the prep work & lay the lawn but it was money well spent.

Mr Nutt & I have spent numerous hours, since it was laid in mid March, just sitting on our deck with a cup of coffee watching the grass grow - literally.

So you might say we are chuffed... royally chuffed... and we are.  Seeing our lawn dream come to fruition means we are one step closer to finishing our dream garden.

We are now on the look out for a water feature to sit in front of the office window... I'm eyeing off this one from Masters Home Improvement.

We're also out and about looking at different types of rocks for our pathways.  Mr Nutt has always been set on tumbled sandstone and we are both in agreement that the rocks below are fit for the job.

Slowly but surely the yard is getting there.

Until the next instalment of our backyard evolution I give you this...
