Our New Backyard!!

Work on our backyard is finally complete! It took a bit longer than Sean and I anticipated but it was most definitely worth the wait! Gone is the ugly deck and the dead grass and icky long back planting bed. In its place is a gorgeous new concrete patio with flagstone border, a revamped planting bed(s) along the fence and brand spankin' new grass!! We are so pleased. Oh...and we have the coolest sprinklers ever! I had so much fun last night watching them go off in the backyard. Guess being a grownup means getting excited about things like sod, sprinklers and concrete.

Here are some pics...

Back planting bed has been reduced to corners only. Less maintenance!!
