Even though we practically blew our budgeted amount for landscaping on the retaining wall and fence, we came in on/under budget - the final numbers aren't quite in - for the whole house build and because of that we decided to outsource the yard. We also waffled between whether or not we should get a sprinkler system. Our lot is kinda sunk down and with the copious amounts of rain Washington recieves, we really would only maybe need irrigation in the summer. Well, we decided to go for it. We got bids to do it for $3700 plus $1000 for the yard prep, seeding and finishing a portion of our retaining wall we added and we had a deal. Multiple guys worked everyday, nearly all day and it took them 6 days to get it in. And they know what they are doing. Imagine, us trying to do a complicated sprinkler system on the weekend. We would finally get it done in time for rainy season to kick in again.
The yard looks so awesome - and there is not even any grass yet. They did a great job and it looks huge. There was zero buyers remorse handing over that check - partly because it's still coming from our construction loan account but still. Next purchase - lawn mover. Any suggestions?

it must be so exciting for you guys to finally see the fruits of your labor-literally! the house looks fabulous and i can't wait to see it all:)
We love our electric lawnmower. It makes us feel so environmentally friendly. Plus it doesn't stink while you mow or store it in your beautiful new garage. Our lawnmower in a battery charged wonder which made it a bit pricier, but it has been worth every penny.
