Welcome to my latest project! I traveled to Lake Tahoe with a friend from high school to help another friend from high school with his backyard. We had 4 days to complete this project. Day 1, we planted hedges along the back fence and partway along the side fences, as well as planting some Japanese maples. Also on day 1 we installed metal edging to keep the lawn separate from the garden and gravel areas. Day 2, we created a gravel seating area. after putting some irrigation pipes through, we laid down a gravel base, and compacted. After that, we rolled out some landscape cloth, and then a special plastic grid that will keep the decorative gravel surface in place. It makes it a more stable surface. Day 3, we installed the irrigation system, as well as spreading new top soil over the lawn area. Day 4, we compacted the new top soil with a lawn roller, then did a final leveling. With the help of two laborers, we installed the sod to make an instant green lawn. Also that day, the hot tub was installed by the hot tub company. Finally, we put together the outdoor kitchen and the audio system. It was an exhausting 4 days (10-12 hours each day) but amazingly, the job was complete! We were so amazed!
