In the same way that it is a luxury to pay someone to refinish our hardwood floors, it is also a blessing to have a patio put in by professionals. We have had people working on our backyard for about a week now and every time I look out the window I’m slightly confused. Usually if there is a project it is Brent digging, cement mixing, drilling, hammering with me a few feet away assisting in anything & everything.
DH and I walked the yard yesterday to check out the work and could not stop giggling with relief. Dear Husband, we’ve come a long way, Baby!
Here is the progress we’ve made in a week on the backyard. When we moved in we did not touch it because we just had no budget. Landscaping is pricey!
I heart how my kids are completely unaffected by a bobcat in the backyard.
Christen,
I can see a beautiful yard forming. I think you are so right about some jobs best left to professionals. If it requires equipment and skill it is best hired.
I have had 3 different bobcats in my backyard this summer, 1 putting in cement drive and backyard steps. Two came yesterday to put in a 20′ maple and the other to put in a row of 6′ arborvite.
If you can, now is the time to put in some established trees. They will give you a mature yard faster.
