Backyard Changes

Well, as you know I love before and after photos. So I had to get a bunch before we started tearing up our yard! Here is our backyard before all the work started.

As you can see the raised area behind the basketball standard is all grass. Let me tell you mowing that has not been fun for Scott!

Scott recently moved our swing set and then started digging up the sprinkler lines so he'd know where the lines were. He didn't want to damage any of them when we started taking out the grass for our new patio area.

As you can see the area up top has a lot of grass and so we are going to split that area...part garden and part bark. Then we'd like to plant bushes in between the blossoming pear trees. That way we'll add some more color and functionality to the yard. I have a bistro table and some chairs to go up where our bench is. The kids loved it but it was getting too wet by the sprinklers so we moved it back to the porch and once all the work is done we'll set up a little eating area up there! I'm excited to see it all come together!
