We began last summer by having all the weeds cleared out. It was pretty bad.
In December, we put in our fence. We paid someone else to do that. We debated doing it ourselves and it just seemed like way too much work and stress.
This month we hired someone to come in and extend our patio. It is wonderful! Steven loves it because he can finally come play outside without crawling through the dirt and rocks.
After the patio was finished, James & I began building our planter boxes. These were 100% James' idea and they look beautiful!
Our next step is to dig the trenches and begin the sprinkler system. Then lay the sod and plant our flowers, bushes and herbs. Can't wait until it's all done!
