My first adventures in landscaping were on my second house.
I did the worst sprinkler job imaginable. All of the sprinklers were in the center of the lawn. Okay, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was planning on having a lawn with rounded corners. When the money ran out, I settled on the traditional lawn and the corners kept drying out. Imagine that.
My next sprinkler job was done for a neighbor and that one was done right. I am hoping that I can use what I've learned for my current challenge.
The Current Challenge:
The previous owners of this house apparently had the front yard sprinklers done by a friend (not a bad job). The problem is that they filled the yard with the extra sod from several neighborhood jobs and did not prepare with top soil. The result is a bumpy, patchy lawn with bare spots from shallow rocks. The back yard is unfinished and in my opinion will be easier than trying to fix the front.
This will be the subject of subsequent posts on this blog as it will take a while to complete.
Here are some "before" pictures of the project.
