The Time Has Come



Well, the time has come to do something with our backyard. I wanted to keep a photo journal of our progress, so here it is.

Our neighbors behind us have made some beds surrounding their yard and so I gotta keep up. Plus, it would be so nice to be able to spend some time out there enjoying it in the summer.

Here are my goals with the project:

  • Keep spending to a minimum (maybe around $1K).
  • Create beds on the west fence and north fence.
  • Cover the raised part of the yard near the fence with pea gravel and put a swing on the tree.
  • Alter the garage from a junk catch all to part storage for our lawn equipment and part covered entertaining area.
  • Use as much reclaimed material as I can.
  • Relocate BBQ area from small deck to near the garage/entertaining area.

I am really excited about this whole concept. I think it is totally doable with some hard work.

I think we can have something worthy of a garden magazine photo spread when we are done...
