Total Yard Renovation w/ pics

Dont really know exactly how to post pics but here is a try...

Had a half Centipede and Half Crab grass front yard and a Half crab grass and half TTTF in the back. Decided to do a complete renovation due to the washed out hillsides and over all uneven soil. Had horrible draininge issues and puddling water in the back yard and needed that fixed also.

Hill.

Then I renovated the last week of Sept. Used a Skid steer to remove old grass and regrade entire plot. Fixed drainage issues and smoothed both hill sides. Brought in 1 load of dirt to fill in and raise front yard.

100 lbs of starter fert.

800 lbs lime.

100 lbs. Lesco Transitions Blend TTTF

50 lbs. Heat Tolerant Blue/TTTF mix.

4 Large mats

Trenched downspout drains and ran piping to bottom of ditch.

    Lotta work posting all those urls. Can you try again? With photobucket grab the html code then paste into the message body.

    The link below shows the pics

    You aren't doing it right. You should have seen that your pics weren't showing when you previewed your post. With photobucket you can use the html code preceded by src img=. Your html code for the photo will be in pointed brackets:

    Then you just insert src img= inside the bracket, so it will look like this:

    Don't add spaces before or after the brackets, I did that so it would show up on the post. Make sure your pictures aren't too big. On photobucket I resize mine to the large size. Hope this helps.

    " "

    Almost, but not quite. The correct syntax is not src img= but img src= like this (using the first image as an example):

    <img src="http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu80/isaacshane1/IMG00010-20090829-1219.jpg">;

    which looks like this:

    Actually it works the same with src img= or img src=. I guess this happens quite a bit so the people who made up the coding made it work both ways.

    You can only reverse the order when using html codes, not url's as you did, so you should use the img src="url" as bpgreen pointed out.

    Thank you very much for fixing my pics. I knew that it was not showing the pics when I did it but I though it would put a hyper link on the page.

    Question? Am I supposed to remove the matting? Or do I just leave it down and cut over it? I would hate to get that tangled in my mower blade???

    If you got the matting that was made for turf, it is biodegradable. It takes a while for it to break down though.
