Never as easy as one envisions. I wanted to make our backyard beautiful and that required new grass. We had one little area planted and Brad suggested it would be a lot easier to just have a pallet of grass delivered to the house to complete the rest of the section I wanted to re-landscape. I thought that was a great idea - how hard could it be to plant a pallet of St. Augustine. With Brad in Biloxi I figured I totally had this one under control. Needless to say, I had no idea just how big an area 450 sq. ft. is when you have to till and remove the existing grass that is at least 4-6 in. deep into the ground. Project took 5 days of exhausting manual labor - an awesome workout yes, but I finally resorted to renting a gas-powered tiller from Home Depot to help because tilling with our pitchfork was taking forever. Brad wanted to see progress pictures, so I started taking some about half way into the project.
