Re: what is the one thing in your backyard

Our yard is kind of a mess, but my dh put in such nice gardens in our yard. I will take a picture later!

And we are constructing an etire playground in our backyard and fencing it in. We have the swingset, we're getting some climbers, a picnic table, play house, you name it! I'll take a picture of that in a little while too!

I love the Swingset/playhouse that my husband built for my kids. He put so much effort and love into designing and building it.Chat Icon

Re: what is the one thing in your backyard

I love that it's there and that it's fenced....and right now, that's about it. We've got a bit of a poison ivy problem back there, so it's not really useable right now.
Next year though - it's going to be amazing!

Our new patio with gazebo. Once the sod gets put in it will be perfect. And of course my pool.

And some times we get cute visitors in the backyard near the stream.

Our pond with waterfall. I always wanted a water feature in the back yard and my DH built this for me a few months ago. It sounds like a babbling brook.

Well, I don't have a backyard, per se, BUT we live right on the water, so I LOVE going outside and smelling the salty air. Chat Icon

Next year, we're getting rid of that God-awful deck and putting in a nice patio.



I stayed true to this statement!

I'll take update pics this weekend, the patio area and it's plantings are definitely my favorite now. We planted around the edges - heuchera, hellebores, and three types of ferns. Chat Icon

I feel sad without it. Chat Icon

But we still have our patio and that is it. We still don't have grass because of all this rain. We will try again in the fall.

I did recently plant my succulents into ceramic planters (2). Love them.

Re: what is the one thing in your backyard

We are closing on our house on MondayChat Icon It's a small yard, but there are no neighbors behind - it's water - which I love, also - there is a screened in porch which I already can't wait to sit in and just stare out at the water!

i love our firepit area-- we've had some great "smores and beer nights" there with friends lately Chat Icon and the stream that is always running and makes the relaxing "babbling brook" sound AND the fact that we have no neighbors behind us Chat Icon
