Backyard Progress Sneak Peak

Michael and I have been busy bees trying to get the back once junk yard into a garden. Now that the warm weather is upon us we have been working every weekend trying to complete it so that we can enjoy some of this lovely weather.  The last few weekends have made a huge difference and Michael has worked so hard hauling the heavy stuff, getting rid of the junk, and tending to his vegetable garden.  Here are a few shots of the progress so far, hopefully we will have some new updates after the weekend.

We rented a pressure washer and gave the concrete a nice wash.  It made a world of difference.  I knew it was dirty but really check out these before and afters.  Both sides are still wet.  But the left side is before,  the right side is after.  I think the concrete was glowing when we were done!  It was so satisfying to wash.  Next time we will power wash the driveway.

Next, we brought in some beautiful plants.  This one is called a smoke bush.  I love the deep purple color.  Now we just need to plant them.

We also put in many many bags of D.G. (decomposed granite) in this beautiful deserty color.

 

Last but not least we finally got a few pieces to sit down proper.  Can't wait until we are done!!  More updates to come.
