Backyard....DONE!!

When we bought our first home it was brand new!! When I say brand new, I mean BRAND NEW- never lived in! It was so nice but it had its drawbacks…the landscaping- there was NONE! It was dirt, weeds and more dirt. It has been on our long “home improvement” list but things always seemed to pop up. So we’ve been collecting bids and flyers from local landscaping companies and finally found the money and the perfect landscaper to come in and get the job done. The amazing thing, the crew got the entire job done in about 7 hours!


Nick and I really wanted to make the backyard not only versatile but also aesthetically appealing. We did our research on the plants that would do well in the heat and took a trip down to the nursery with our landscaper. He not only suggested plants and trees that would thrive but also gave us an idea of some of the options we would have down the road.

Here are some photos from beginning to end.

Here is the before picture- pretty sad huh?

A day at the nursery...picking out the plants and trees

I think we both just as excited to see the workers get started!

The final seal of approval!

HOORAY!! IT'S DONE!!!

We are so excited to have it finished. 

Sofie can't wait for us to buy her all the toys she's spotted in the store!!

She came home from Nonnie and Ba-Pa's house today and ran to the back yard and said..."ahh my backyard"!  It wa too cute!
