{ Yard Updates }

After owning our home for 8 months, we are finally pretty happy with our outdoor living space. The previous owners of our home were an older couple. The gentleman had passed away and the woman was headed to a old age home, so the yard was never taken care of after that. There was a huge garden in the dead center of the yard, leaves everywhere, overgrown bushes, along with a pile of junk along the tree line. After many days, Home Depot/Lowes trips and many helping hands, we removed the garden, all the junk and added some soil to the back to lift up the yard a bit. We started planting some flowers, some trees and shrubs and laying out some mulch and the place looks 100% better. 

Here is the before (before we even moved in!)

Here is the after. (We added more flowers since this photo but I'm too lazy to take another one lol)

Here is the yard after the garden was taken out.

 The yard after we added a truck load of soil and some grass seed.

This is a few weeks later with new grass and still some junk in the back.

Hammock installed where all the junk used to lay :) 

Lovely little garden started. Whatever was in here before was so strong when we cut it.. holy lord!

 Added some baby trees to the front

 Baby shrubs and porch flowers

 All the flowers added to the path. They are gorgeous in full bloom!

And our baby flowering tree, H had to have this one since it's similar to a willow, just small :)

 My favorite space in the house - the back porch (screened in!)

The firepit we built

Enjoying the firepit before the holiday :)
