Our backyard remodel is complete! After five years we finally decided to pull the trigger. I've always been embarrassed by our backyard and avoided having play dates here. As the kids get older and more active (especially Colin), they could especially benefit from this new and improved space. We're very pleased with how it turned out and I have to show it off!
 |
| Before: ugly, rotting deck that cut off the rest of the backyard, cracked concrete, and no real flat area to hang out and play |
 |
| During |
 |
| After: deck torn down, new pavers, new fences, new arbor, vegetable/herb garden to the left. Look at all that open space! |
Some more views:
 |
| Lawn area before: ugly fake well in the middle, weedy lawn that Brady used entirely as his bathroom, no irrigation system |
 |
| After: pushed back retaining wall and built a new one, new lawn and irrigation system and new landscaping |
 |
| Another view of the ugly retaining wall and narrow uneven walkway |
 |
| Flat and wide! |
 |
| We now have a meyer lemon, fuji apple, and mandarin orange tree, as well as a pomegranate bush |
Now we just need some new patio furniture. Can't wait to throw bbq's and birthday parties here!
