Landscaping has STARTED

We decided to start landscaping our yard. Darren Thacker (Jessica's cousin) is a landscape architect in Denver, and agreed to draw us up a plan for our one acre lot. He said he'd do it in exchange for a couple of rounds of golf, but we had no idea how much work he would put into the plan. Anyway, the (almost) final plan looks awesome, so we hired Russ Witt to start grading the dirt. Well, he brought in a huge trackhoe, and has really done a nice job so far!


We were worried that we would have to bring in a bunch of (expensive) fill dirt for berms, and to fill in the low spots. Well, Russ was able to find a bunch of dirt in the back yard, and bring them to the front for us!

Exciting to get those weeds out of the way. Mr. Witt is doing a great job.
