Backyard Part 1

As I said before, I forgot to take any before pictures but it was pretty much just a grass/weed field. There was a block of cement that we pulled out and that's where we put our steps. Eddie had some slabs of cement just laying around and they worked perfectly. Jesse and I did all the rock work at the bottom. I think they turned out pretty well. I really like them!

Along the back of the house and behind the kennel, we are going to put some rocks and shrubs. We have gone out into the Bern hills quite a few times to get rocks and we have more trips to make but we have found some really great rocks for free. Once we have all that in place, we are going to fill in any empty areas with small river rock. These are just a few of the shrubs that we will be planting.

I was able to get this brand new swingset from King's for only $75 because they were wanting to get rid of it. It's not completely put together yet but Atreyu already loves the slide.

Eddie has also given us a huge tractor tire that I am going to paint green and then we will use it as a sandbox! The last thing that we'll need to get done, is planting grass and putting in the chainlink fence so Atreyu will have a safe place to play.
