Our Yard

In February of 2010 we started landscaping our backyard. If you know Christian, then you know that the yard is very important to him. He was very excited to take this project on and turn our dirt backyard, into a fun and beautiful place.


He started by drawing out what we wanted and hauled in all of these bricks (in the back of our Accord) and created the outside border of the lawn and garden.

Yes, that is him working out in the dark... that's how dedicated he was :)

We couldn't make all of our plans come to pass on our own, so we hired Capital R Construction to come and help us. Rusty and his crew put in a beautiful paver walkway, a barbeque pad and borders for the sandbox. They also brought in lots of sand for the sandbox and dirt for the garden. We had rock delivered too but Christian did most of that.





The paver walkway was a pretty big job!










Rather than doing Sod, we planted seed. It took awhile to come in but now it looks great.






Some of the bounty from our garden. This cucumber plant produced a TON! It was great!


And since we were in the mode, Christian decided to put grass in the front too.
