We decided to put turf in our backyard! It was always something Kyle joked about but then the opportunity came and we decided to take the risk. The turf we are putting in is from a stadium up in Denver that had the money to replace it early. All the black that you see is the rubber. We have a lot of extra but we are almost done with the install and our last step is sweeping up all the extra rubber. Kyle has been working really hard at cutting out all the white lines and numbers and piecing it together to make it look nice.

The process...
16 dump truck loads of dirt dropped off for the base.
Smoothing it out with the skid
Compacting it with the roller.
Getting the turf delivered and rolling it out...

| This stuff is HEAVY....it really did take everyone to get it rolled out |
A little side note....An exterminator had to come and spray our Ash Tree because bees had bore into it and laid their eggs. We noticed the tree wasn't coming back this year and then noticed all the larvae hatching out of it...gross.
He had to come back and spray it because it didn't work the first time...
Yay! Success! Bees still come around every once in a while but at least we got our tree back!
