The Big Backyard Project

Sooo...many of you have been to our home at least once in the three and a half years we've lived here. Chances are, you've seen it with a large back porch, but little creativity going on in our back yard. We tried planting grass, but the St. Augustine just didn't take, so it's been a wonderful muddy mess for our two dogs to romp around in. Until now...

I'm so excited to share the before and after photos of our big backyard project. We had flagstone laid to cover the cement part of the existing porch, and then extended that flagstone out into the yard to create a large living space complete with a firepit. We, of course, haven't been able to even remotely get close to using the pit yet, but look forward to many chilly Fall and Winter nights by it roasting S'mores with the kiddos.

Waylen and a member of his work crew spent about two days once that project was complete working on an arbor or pergola that covers the seating area and provides some much needed shade. Enjoy!

Before... it hurts me just to look at it.

Another before, but up close...

And another...

And another.


Ahhhh....After!

The firepit.

You can see our little buddy enjoying the breezy shade under the ceiling fan.

Just because ;-)
