Our New Backyard!

Oh finally!!!  It’s ALL done!!!  Remember the post I made from before that showed the massive Borchard pond in our yard?  If not, look here really quick.  Did you SEE all of that water?!

Ok, so, check out this photo before the landscapers (Turf Plus) came to begin the work, and take note of the trees that are labeled. Notice the trees.  Also, in the bottom left corner there is an oleander plant and a large rock underneath it.

Now, here’s the new backyard!Check out the 4 less trees!  Notice the Oleander is gone :)  There’s also a LOT MORE GRASS!

Now here is a more detailed look at the in process stuff. During:  Lots of shoveling done on Thursday and Friday!  After:

These pictures start to show the drain installation process.  They tied the downspout on our garage into the drain that eventually runs out to the street.  During: After (same as above picture, but it shows the finished product here):  This is along our neighbor’s fence. During:After:

This is the area right next to our garage and just behind our deck where the large rock sits.  During:   This is an extreme difference mostly because of all the new grass!After: This is a look at the ground area underneath our Magnolia tree. During: Some much grass!  After: We hope all the new drainage will prevent this from happening again:  We are so excited about our first MAJOR project completed!
