The top soil and sod project

We finally have something that looks more like a back yard than a dirt and weed pile! Top soil was delivered Friday night and Saturday morning. Ryan Kitchen brought his CAT and wowed us all with how adept he was with it! Lane and Chip came to help, which we appreciated so much. Thanks, guys!
Rock piles and "funny pipe" for the sprinkler system Rock removal The first load of top soil is delivered. Moving boulders into place The big pile Spreading and rolling Ryan headed down with another load All done with the heavy equipment! Troy and our helper Miguel sweeping up the mess Sod is delivered. Rolling uphill was easier with two! Troy and Miguel got all the sod down into the back yard early the next morning; it was nearly all roughly in place by 8:30!
Our neighbor, Joe, came to help. Loading up in the front, shortly before Troy finished for the morning. What it looked like at the end of the weekend... Now for the trees and planting beds! Another day...
