Landscaping - Back to the Sod

I was back at it Sunday morning finishing up what was started on Saturday.

 For now, the sod will only go as far as reflected in the next pics.
There are two reason for not continuing; 1) I have to dig up the original waterline to the house and lower it down about another foot to get it out of harms way when the eventual new side access driveway is installed (next post), and 2) as inferred in the prior statement, the new driveway will cross between the sod and the house so obviously sod is not needed there.
The white pipe is the temporary above
ground lake water line.
Right now, though you cannot see it clearly in the above pic, the original copper 3/4" water line is exposed to the elements.   When this section was resculpted to facilitate runoff, the excavation guys were extremely careful to not scrape so low as to snag the pipe though they got close enough to clear the dirt right off the top of it.

The rest of the sod
The near half pallet of remaining sod was placed on the right side of the house along the perimeter walkway.
Glad big Bertha was there to keep things cool
Ran out of sod rounding the new sidewalk
More on the future driveways coming soon!
