I Transformed The WORST Backyard In The Neighborhood

What happens here

Install new sod across the main lawn area. Before laying, pre-water the ground to ensure moisture retention. Begin by unrolling sod strips along the longest edge of the lawn, pressing them firmly against each other to minimize seams. Stagger subsequent rows like bricks to create a strong, seamless appearance. Use a utility knife to cut sod pieces as needed to fit around the fire pit, garden beds, and borders. After all sod is laid, water it thoroughly.

Goal: Install fresh, green grass for a vibrant lawn.

I This is absolutely stunning. >> Oh, good. So, let me show you around a little bit. I wanted to create a little function here. I know you had garden beds here. And I was telling you like you want to have a little area for the kids to play, right? Not bumping. So, I put kind of a little things for your kids to have a little soccer game that they can have here. I know your kids want to play and so we got them a little sandbox in here for them to get into. Oh my gosh, it's adorable. >> got some sand toys for them to kind of get into. We got a swing set that's dedicated for them. I kind of picked the shadiest part of the backyard, so that way they're not cooking out here. [music] And let's see here, the grass is coming in great. It's nice and soaked through,
