Oh how far we've come....

Doug (with a little help from me) has done so much work to our yard this spring. When we bought the house, the yard was sun scorched with an unbelievable hill in the backyard. Doug's vision and creativity have transformed it into the relaxing, retreat we enjoy today. Even with my budget restrictions - he has done an amazing job. I wanted to post some before, during and after pictures of the yard in progress. We really have enjoyed the process and especially the end result - sitting on our patio for meals or around the fire.

New House- May 2006
Check out that hill - Yikes!


Step 1 - Retaining Wall - April 2007
They moved so much dirt, it looked like a swimming pool was going in!

Step 2 - Patio - February 2008
A new patio, furniture & most importantly a fire pit!



Present Day April 2008
New plants behind the wall, new mulch & trees around the patio- I love it!
