So let me give one of the final updates for this front/backyard landscaping project.....
So we are pretty much done, the only thing we need to do is add the pretty glass to the fire pit , paint the inside of the courtyard to match the house, add a few more landscaping lights, and add the pole lantern to front porch but other than that everything is ready to rock and roll.
So yesterday I spent about 2-3 hours cleaning up the back yard and having it sprayed for bugs especially since only mountain deserts is behind me and we turned all that dirt so I was worried about scorpions. Everything was pressure washed and wiped down. And I manually vacuumed the pool for about a hour and drained the spa so I could get all the dirt out. The only thing I didn’t get to finish was cleaning the filters which I will do this weekend and getting the rocks from the bottom of the pool since it’s freezing water around 67 degrees , I swear I seen ice patches on the water lol. It was a lil painful because I had to stick my hand In to scrap some mortar off that got on the bench and I was hating life . Other than that life is good and I’m very happy and ready to start using my lil oasis
So here are some pics :)
I will also give a pro tip and I’m glad I listened even though I didn’t understand when I first started my build .... run extra conduit because you never know when and we’re you will add lighting or landscaping or even a fire pit. The fire pit and plantar where never in my plans until just a few weeks ago but the guys were so happy I ran extra conduit and glad I put some under my decking . And the extra electrical I ran cane in handy because the workers used the heck out of the plug by the bench and were having a concert in the back while working lol

Thank you all for the nice comments I really appreciate it and I’m so happy the way everything came out. Doing a OB was such a positive learning experience that also has its own set of challenges but I made so many changes and because I was in charge I was able to make the changes on the fly and it improved my overal project

How do you like those lounge chairs in the photos above.. the brown rattan ones? Are they comfortable? Seems like you have to be on your back otherwise they don't work? I am in the market for patio furniture right now!

Thanks

So the chairs are comfortable but they have cushions that just are not on right now, matter fact all the furniture has cushions but I took them off because of the dust and weather change, I leave them on all summer and take everything off as soon as the season is over.
The chairs can have different type of cushions from full length to just a head pad, I would recommend going into a store and laying on some and seeing how you like them. I only have them for looks and for other people because to be honest I don’t like sitting in the sun and I already have a natural tan lol but they look great on the patio and yes you have to lay on your back or side only
