So here is a half-way look at our backyard changes. We did not know that there would be grass down when we got home today. It was such a cool surprise! Bill has lots more to do with things like moving the pool equipment, building a custom shed, getting rid of the old junk, putting up malibu lights ect. He just told me that he will be busy for many many weeks to come. Oh please Easter Bunny will you bring my boys a playset with swings, a slide, and a little clubhouse???
Here is our backyard in 2004. It looks fine to me!
Another shot from 2004. That was when we had the block wall put
around the entire perimeter of the house.
The stucco wall was one of the things we wanted gone.
We hated the slope and depth of the planter. It only grew the ivy in certain spots
and it was approx. 6 feet from the stucco wall to the brick wall.
We ended up looking at a lot of dirt most of the time.
Demo begins and the dirt is leaving.....
We gained like 4 1/2 to 5 feet of grass on the side and the top of this area!
Trenching for the new block wall.
Don't mind the shed in EVERY picture. Bill said it will be gone this weekend.
He wants to build a new one!

Ta-Da! What we came home to today!
Bill did a great job designing this. He was awesome.
I just gave a nod every once in awhile!
It is our neighbor's Sal's business.....he did a great job if anyone every needs him.
Now the planter is only 2 feet from the brick wall to the mini brick wall and it is level.
No more dirt to look at and no more slope!

Wow, it looks great. I can't believe he is DONE! What a nice surprise to have all that grass today!!! Is that new concrete behind the pool (in front of the small wall)? I love it :-) It looked great before, but it is even nicer now. What a HUGE difference it made. Your back yard looks GIGANTIC!
