I have always hated the layout of our backyard. People who ventured up there likened it to mountain goat climbing. The kids preferred the flat front yard to kick balls, ride bikes etc and seriously, the whole space really was a waste!After much nail chewing, DH and I have decided to begin major renovations and reclaim our back yard. It is always going to be steep (can't change what is!) but we think that a bit of earth works to make the space more usable would benefit all.
It's not going to be an overnight job....after the excavating, we have retaining walls to build, drainage to install and grass to lay. Here, however, I'm giving you a general idea of the 'before' picture so that you can see the progress for yourself. Stay tuned for the 'during' and 'after' shots to come!
