Since our house was finished up in the winter we didn’t get the opportunity to do any landscaping. Now, 6 months later, we are hard at work. In front of the house we cleaned up the yard and planted a Hydrangea tree to the right of our front door, then we build a flower bed on the other side. Our grass is slowly growing in as well but the clay in our yard is making that quite difficult!
Around back, we’ve been working on build a patio. We decided to keep it simple for now and are putting together a larger pea gravel patio, about 30 x 12 feet! We started digging it over the weekend but then our neighbor felt bad and brought over his Dingo (stand behind skid steer) to help out. Our stone should be arriving soon and we hope to finish building the patio this weekend! Really looking forward to having a nice place to sit and work outside. We also have had an old picnic table with a steel frame and finally bought some work and rebuild the table top. It pretty much looks brand new now.
Plenty more to do, but it has been a lot of fun to make some pretty dramatic improvements around the exterior of our house.
