Exterior - backyard, leveling the yard

So excited to make this next step. Leveling the back yard, adding sod, therby removing the trench path and the pile of dirt. Oh, and just before we did this the city contacted me asking if I had a manhole cover in my back yard. What the heck? No. But they came out, found it, and raised it so that it would be less likely to become buried in my flower bed. Apparently the sewer line for the neighborhood starts in my back yard. It was also an opportunity to remove the hot tub, the wood pile, and scrubby bushes.
