Back yard progress

Billy and I have been working on the back yard. We have never used the space because it was uneven, full of holes and completely overgrown with weeds. We have a nice fenced in area back there and I decided to come up with a plan to make it a place we will use.

First I made a rough sketch of a simple and inexpensive yard.

Next Billy weed whacked the forest of growth. I raked and dumped the weeds to clear the area. Then Billy and I swung the tools, broke up the dirt and smoothed out the hills & holes.

I dug out some lines for rocks and pathways. Then we showered the yard with grass seed and fertilizer. I have slowly been bringing in wheelbarrows full of gravel rock (from a big pile up the road). This is how it looks so far.
