My husband is amazing! When we purchased our home almost 2 years ago we had NO idea how much work this nearly 1 acre yard would be. I realize that the pictures are from two different seasons, but it doesn't really matter because there wasn't a lawn...just bare dirt with weeds, cedars, and unkempt trees. It is still a work in progress, but Chris has hand planted thousands of plugs to create this beautiful lawn! We chose to go with a buffalo hybrid turf grass called Turf-Tech. It was developed at Texas Tech and is supposed to require less care and water than other grasses suitable for our region, but after last month's water bill I'm not convinced! We also removed all of the cedars, and about 15 other sickly trees. We've put in huge planters around the trees and have enlarged those around the house. The trees have all been trimmed and are loving having more space to grow. It is really coming along. I honestly never thought I'd see green out there. It got to be depressing at times... just looking at dirt and weeds. Thank you Chris! You've once again made your wife a very happy woman! Now...on to the backyard!

William and I were walking a couple of nights ago, and I noticed how absolutely beautiful the grass is! I am so proud for you!
P.S.- You were smart to start with the front yard, our back is looking great, but no one knows it, except us!:)
Go TEXAS TECH! I knew we were good for something. :-)
Looks great! Now he can come to our house and get started! Or maybe just talk my husband into getting out there and doing it.
Looks lovely you green-thumbed Holders! :) Since I won't be huge and pregnant this fall, I'm looking forward to planting tulip and daffodil bulbs! FUN!
The yard is absolutely amazing!! Great job, Chris. What a difference the work you have done makes. Nannie
