Yard Updates...

The Yard...

Ross's Father's Day present - he likes to watch the birds!

Ross's creation - the water feature! It's great - Sunny has fresh drinking water all day long!

Our weekend Projects....

We had 800 sq feet of sod delivered Friday - just after they picked up the dumptster from our driveway, thankfully! With the help of our amazing neighbor Nathan - we got all the sod down in a mere 3 hours!!! I was on watering duty (sweet!).

Then Saturday... we gathered all our supplies - 70 edging bricks, 5 tons of stone, 3 boulders and 3/4 ton of flagstone.

We had to lay the weed barrier and the edging...

I'm not sure what Sunny thinks about all this yard work.

We put in the flagstone path and then wheelbarrel after wheelbarrel of rock.... It looks great but boy are we tired!!!

More Yard Projects?!?!?!?

I guess we just can't get enough of the yard...

I spent a good couple hours shoveling the equivilent of 27 bags of mulch to finish off the front garden. It makes a big difference!!!

I plan to put rock here instead of mulch.... I've had enough with the mulch!!!

Our beautiful rose bushes!

Most of this area will be rock with a flagstone path in it. We are having 500 sq feet of rock and 100 sq feet of flagstone delivered on Saturday...

This is what started it all.... We put down rock and built that retaining wall to replace the old railroad ties. Now that's new, we have to update the rest... it's a never ending project!

All this dirt will be sod. We are having 800 sq feet of sod delivered Friday.

This used to be full of all the bushes we ripped out.

Now it's all in the dumpster!

We ordered too much dirt - so we have a bunch left... we put an ad in the paper for "Free Dirt". Hopefully someone will take it tomorrow!

Ohhh The Yard!

Our handy man finished up on Tuesday (merely a week off schedule)! We have a couple finishing touches left but we're almost done! We still have to stain the fence and we're planning to re-seed the backyard and try to grow grass!!! We'll see.....

Before...

After...

The Garden...

Everything I planted last year has come back and continues to grow!!!!

The decks....

Upper deck with all new Trex!

The lower deck...

Bench to use to get in and out of the hot tub!

Cool cut out around the tree!

Our fire pit area

The fence.... makes a HUGE difference in the yard!!! We're going to put grass in all the dirt areas...

The front fence.... We're going to try to grow grass here too...

Yard Projects!

We've had quite a lot going on in our yard lately...
