I wish I had some better "before" pictures of our backyard...the weeds just took off in early summer and it was treacherous out there! The photos I have are from when we had our home inspection and first moved in.
Upon thinking about this post, I realize I haven't even taken any inside photos of our home! I will have to get working on that as we've received most of our furniture now and things are finally coming together.
Back to landscaping...
Before:
During:
After all the weeds cleared out and backyard leveled out somewhat...this was heaven to our eyes!
The lawn edging going in....rock will be next.
Truck parked in our backyard!
Next day was the sprinkler system installation. Glororious, glorious automatic sprinklers.
After:
We have a backyard!!
Our new paver patio. We have our patio table & chairs and grill on it already. We just need to built some steps down from the patio door in our dining room, and we will be set!
In the right corner, I will be planting some flowers here. Not sure if I will do this year or wait until next.
Our front yard with one lonely tree (i.e. stick). It is much greener today as it has been raining non-stop for about 30 hours. We (as well as our water bill) are loving the rain!!
Eventually, we will be planting bushes and plants in the rock, as well as in the flower bed. I'd love to have a vegetable garden next spring with corn and carrots and the like. We're also hoping to get some evergreen trees and other trees from up north to plant in our backyard. It's pretty plain right now, but we've made a lot of progress in only a few months, so we're pleased with the results so far!
Thanks for looking :)
