Our Backyard

We are just about finished with the softscaping of our backyard. We are certified as a National Wildlife Habitat so we have to make sure we provide food, water, shelter, etc. We have more birds in our backyard that I have ever seen before. Lots of different types. Little Barry just loves to watch them. They play in the water, fight over the food, and make lots of noise.

We just finished our waterfall. It came out perfect. The sound is very peaceful. It is a disappearing fall meaning it just goes straight into the ground. No pond. We transplanted a very large tree that was stuck in a corner to more of the middle of the yard. We are hopeing by spring it will recover from the shock and we won't have to replace it. In it's place we put our new outdoor Christmas tree!

Next year we plan on adding an outdoor kitchen, pergolas over the side patios, and replacing the builder made pergola over the main patio with an actual covered structure that ties into the house. They say a house is never done... and if it is... it's time to move. Well I don't plan on moving anytime soon so I must have lots of work to do!
