Backyard Project

Our backyard has been nothing but dirt for too long! It is time to do some construction and landscaping. Kurtis and his Dad have spent many weekends working hard! They have dug a few holes for trees, dug a trench and installed an irrigation system, and leveled out the backyard for a planter. Kurtis and I purchased flagstone to be delivered this week and then laid on our back porch. I am still deciding on patio furniture, so many choices! There are still plans to come and we hope to have the renovation complete before summer!


Digging a 6 foot hole for our first tree!

The tree is planted!

Digging the trench for the irrigation system!

The trench with pvc pipe and secondary irrigation line.

Kurtis with the pick! I love the expression on his face!

Looks like a big project! I'm sure it looks great and will look even better after you get your furniture. :) I'm jealous of your warm, beautiful weather! Keep in touch.
