Okay, we finally have the backyard all prepped. The dirt we excavated from the new driveway has been spread around to make berms, mixed with compost and some other stuff.

We have some of the plants but not all yet as we are still making decisions on plants/shopping/ etc. but we need to get some wood chips down everywhere soon before it gets rainy. (One puppy + rain = much mud) Other than having to move the chips out of the way as we plant, is there any reason NOT to lay all the wood chips now?

The other reason for doing it first is that I will need to hire help to move it to the backyard and spread it around and I can get that done during the week and than have the weekend for planting.

Thanks.
