The Making of the Backyard Oasis
This was a 2+ year project. When we first bought the house, our yard was nothing but a unnecessary berm backing up to our backdoor.
1. Rented a Bobcat (for the first time) and removed scoops out of the berm to gain additional space.
2. The groundwork for the patio
2. Laying the paver patio
3. Brought in support from the professionals
4. Almost done
5. Completed paver patio
6. The start of the retaining wall
7. More retaining wall construction
8. Do you think we need to move back the retaining wall even further?
9. Unfortunately, Yes.
10. We removed the wall, rented an even bigger piece of equipment, and began hill removal 2.0
11. There were times where we thought, "what were we thinking?"
12. Wall rebuilt, even better than before
13. Installed sod
14. Laying out the raised perennial garden
15. The start of our gardening addiction
16. From the road
17. Finally a backyard
18. No maintenance black aluminum fence installed
19. Spring has sprung
20. Black mulch and new flower beds added
21. Great backyard for entertaining
