We have been spending a lot of time working on our backyard. When we moved in it was tall weeds (about 4 feet), thick, in hard clay with lots of large rocks. Because of the rocks, Matt had to weed everything by hand. We managed to lay sod, plant border plants, and put in wood borders and mulch in the main part of the backyard before summer ended last year. We didn't take any real before pictures, but this is what the yard looks like now (the grass has been cut and pasted - hence the photoshopped look...)
The side yard is a work in progress and includeds blackberries (transplanted from the coast) and raspberries. The grass is just "hanging out" until it finds its final resting place.
Some of our favorite trees
Herb and flower wine barrels also in the side yard.
In the front yard, we added plants to the gravel area that was provided with the front yard before we moved in, and added rocks to make a rock garden.
