The Building of our New Backyard

We live on a hill and have had no place for the children to really play outside but in the street in front of our house. Last summer our wonderful field across the street that was filled with trees and wildlife was stripped and turned into a housing development. We took advantage of the situation and worked with the contractor to bring in over 2000 cubic feet of dirt and build a very nice back yard area last November. Unfortunately, the weather turned too cold and final grading and seeding was not completed. We will need to finish that part up this spring. We are very excited to be able to put up a swing set and play area for the children this coming summer (after we reseed, add trees/shrubs to the hill and add a fence around the steep slope).

Those that love construction vehicles and big equipment will sure love this video :)
