We were at Judi's for the weekend when the big storm came to Rancho. When we had left town the front yard was all chewed up and being graded to provide a graceful slope to the lawn. But it was still all loose dirt. Driving home from the airport, we found off-ramps closed because of flooding, sections of the town black with power outages from downed lines, branches and whole trees broken. Well this did not bode well for our soon-to-be new lawn.
As we drove up next to our home, the headlights hit the front yard. Our eyes were greeted with a beautiful sight - under all the leaves and branches and twigs at our place was a beautiful green lawn! I guess they got the grass in before the storm!
We later learned that although our yard man originally had planned to do the laying of the sod himself over a period of time, when he heard of the coming storm he got a crew of four and they got it all in on Monday, the day before the big storm! So the new lawn got its first good soaking!
(Although we did have some branches down in this tree)
