A Whole New Yard!

The Mr. and I have finally decided to do something with our yard. We first started by hiring my youngest brother to take out our awful deck. He had it out in about two days...he was a quick and hard worker! Then with the help of our friend Darvin we pulled out all the old, over grown landscaping and then called Everett's Landscaping to help us with the rest. Everett's came out, took a look, drew up some plans, and came and did their thing. They did an awesome job! In the midst of all that, we had another company come and pour us a patio to replace the deck. The work was great, but we won't recommend them to any of our friends. Alright, enough talk, let's get to the pictures...

This is the deck before my brother ripped it out.


Here is the deck gone...well sort of...we now have a big pile of wood to get rid of...



And here is our beautiful patio!


This is our new backyard! Who new five evergreens could make such a difference?! Fantastic!


This is our new front yard! Beautiful! Well, it will be more beautiful when our grass comes in...that will be a while...Oh and you can see our favorite new tree. I can't remember what it's called, but we love it!


These are flowers that we got from our friend Darvin who works for a greenhouse. They were just going to throw them away and he thought to give them to us. How nice. We plan to plant them in the front and backyard to add some color. Thanks D-Man!

Now that we have spent all this money on our yard, we actually have to care about it. The new grass needs to be water three times a day at 10:00am, 1:00pm, and 4:00pm. Guess who gets to water it...? Yes, that's right the teacher with no summer job. Perhaps the Mr. will get his chance on the weekends. Even with the added work, we love our new yard and can't wait to share it with our friends and family. In other words...call us, come see us and our brand new yard!
