Ready for Summer Part 2
Well today we finished most of the yardwork for NOW. We still have to do an area on the side of the driveway, and we still have to plant some more trees, and there are is still the fence. We do want to redo that and add a privacy fence. We also want to look at some outdoor lighting too. I think some of those solar powered things would be neat. However, for right now things are done. LOL Here’s some pictures of what we managed to get done:
This is the kids play ground. It’s got a palette of recycled rubber for the flooring. This stuff is pretty cool. It’s supposed to last for 12 years. So that is neat. The kids are in heaven! They are spoiled to say the least. They have their own “park” in their yard.
Then this is the pathway from the front door going over to the play area. It was just grass. We took the grass out and filled it with dirt. The layed 2 rows of patio blocks. We also framed in a section and put black dirt / garden soil there so we could plant flowers in there. Here’s what it looks like now:
All done. I am so excited with the way it came out. I had to add some grass seed in there were you see all the ‘bald’ spots of grass, but for the most part this is what it looks like. I am pretty happy. I hope it stays looking nice. We picked a good day to plant things too. It is supposed to rain tonight and sprinkle on and off for the next 2 days… so it should be good for it. Oh and we water sealed the boards, fence and steps… Oh what a fun filled 2 days, huh?
