Small Backyard Makeover

Project Year: 2017
This backyard has no shade to protect it from the summer heat. It can now be lush & green without having to be watered all the time.
Small Backyard Makeover
Here is some insight to what the process of installing turf looks like. Here you can see the crush granite base has been laid which is the material that is put below the turf. The white river rocks are in place so that they can be spread around the edge of the turf.
