Top dressing the back yard lawn

 We continue to try to improve the lawn in the back yard.  The grass was installed in 2014 and 2017, and top-dressed in 2018, so it seems that now is a good time to do it again.

We ordered 4 cubic yards of Screed Organic Compost from Whittlesey Landscape, which, with delivery, came to $293.60.


The back yard lawn is just starting to green up after the Winter.


We use the wheel barrow to move the compost around to the back, and distribute it around.


Then this has to be more evenly distributed by raking it all smooth.


The same was done to the part of the yard between the kitchen and the raised garden.


Rain is predicted to help wash it in and settle it.
