And we so continue with our yard makeover project of the week. On Day 3 Team Turf installed sod in the front yard, continued to pull out unwanted shrubs and dangling limbs, and finished the day by adding fresh pinestraw, and cleaning up the mess we made in the progress! So here is the original…
Read MoreWe’ve been so busy with this week’s yard makeover that I just realized I forgot to update you all on the progress we made yesterday.
