Our backyard pics- Before and After

[heatmisr]

We recently had our backyard landscaped, so I thought I would share a few photos. I am glad to have it done because I hated the gravel/dirt that surrounded the pool. It made it unpleasant to use and hard to keep the yard clean. Not to mention, it was downright ugly.

We still have some minor things to do, but the major part is done.

Thanks, for the kind words all!.... :-D Sitting out in the backyard sipping a glass of wine is one of my favorite activities. Now I do it with a smile on my face. :-D And this is the first year we have been able to enjoy the pool since buying the house in '06. I found TFP last summer, but shortly thereafter, put a hole in the liner, prematurely ending the season. I have been BBB'ing all season and, so far, have had only one blip. Now I find myself having "pool talk" with other friends that have pools and trying to convince them to BBB.....LOL.

Looks great! The gravel made a huge difference in the overall appeal.

Thanks. I have found that it is difficult to get all the gunk out of the rocks. We have a lot of maple trees and they drop those helicopters all summer.
