The transformation of my back yard....


Before and After...



This is how the yard looked when I moved in...

This is how the yard looked after pulling out all the weeds, brush and old rusty fences...

and installing a cedar fence...

then the yard was completely roto-tilled so new grass could be planted...thank you John!

next the fence was stained and Dad started building a shed...

Soil and gravel were delivered to start building a raised flower bed around the border of the yard...
duringPic1

the soil was also used to fill the raised 4x8 veggie bed next to the rain barrel...
duringPic1

the raised bed was built with concrete "stones"

it wasn't hard to build, just hard to level the bed for it
