The PROJECT

I thought I would share pictures of the backyard project that is in progress right now. As some of you know this has been a long time coming. I'm really pushing to get this done in the next month or so, so stay tuned for the finished product....We've come a long way from the 6 ft weeds... Now to get the dirt leveled off in front of the slider and lay down the cinder block patio, in this pattern ↓↓↓↓

This long portion where the grass is supposed to go...after I finish digging the rest of the weed roots out. Also on the to-do list, sprinklers. Hopefully that won't take too long to figure out. The plan is to create a 30" wide flower bed next to the house. We dug out a section by the faucet and are going to bury some of the gravel we have to help with drainage since there isn't a gutter over that area. And that's where things stand for now. I'm so ready for it to be done! All the sweat will be worth it in the end though. Can't wait to post the "after" pictures....

Wow, it looks awesome!! You have done a great job! Lots of digging up weeds. I don't think I saw any. The patio will look great. I think at this point I would throw down grass and hand water it. But I know if you take the time to put in sprinklers first it will a whole lot better later.
