Does anyone have a nice backyard and would like to share ideas? We really want a place we can enjoy.. sit back in the cool evenings and relax in. Right now we have a concrete slab. The last owners had the backyard landscaped, which is the dumbest thing ever because the backyard is pretty small. They even had kids and 4 dogs.. I guess I don’t understand how you’d rather have pretty bushes with mulch over an area you can enjoy and let your kids and pets play in without worry.
One thing Jeremiah really wants is one of those outdoor fireplace kits. I sure wouldn’t mind that, but first I want to expand the porch. I was thinking about how to stay cheap.. possibly just do gravel and stepping stones, so we can have our chairs and table with the umbrella in an area that is landscaped (poorly maintained, though) right now. Our grill takes up a good portion of the concrete slab we have now. I’d like some outdoor lighting, some mosquito stake things.. I can’t wait until we can take on our next project!
