All of us know what a subdivision looks like - we've all driven through them and visited friends who live in one. All the houses (ignore their similarity for a second) look perfectly finished, with siding or faux stonework and sod covering the yard and lining the driveway. Well I am in the dark about most of the building process, but I can speak about the efforts of the landscaping crews who prepare the ground and lay sod and are often the last people to work on a property.
