Before & After

Our yard has made some transformations since we moved in. There is still a lot to do...but we love the progress!


Front Yard

There was a significant slope in the front yard and since I really wanted it as flat as possible we added some rock walls. It's hard to tell in the 'After' picture, but there is tons of flat grass in between the two walls. We are excited to add plants and trees to make it even more beautiful!


Back Yard

Before

Top Picture: Picture taken from the back patio of the south side of the back yard. The shed is our neighbors...and it sits basically on the property line. The dead grass in the back is a wedge of the park that is behind our house and belongs to the city. So there was a 4 ft tall slope in our back yard. Middle Picture: Taken from the back patio of the north side of the back yard. This is where the grow boxes now sit.

After

We added a rock wall along the back side but gave us enough space to add a flower bed on top. In the corner of the north side we added some grow boxes for our garden.


FRONT SIDE

The side of the house is still under construction. Hopefully we will have the carport done this summer but we'll have to wait and see. We did add a rock wall on the side to keep the dirt from sliding down.
