We are finally breaking ground on our backyard remodel
I tried to order the pics from before to current state. The long and short of it is, bye bye current kitchen island, saguaros, and flower beds along the wall....hello fake grass!!!
The idea is to give this hugely wasted space a purpose for my kids and future dog to run around and be kids.
Then use the other grossly wasted space on the side of the house as my new outdoor kitchen, complete with gas, electric and water hookups...eventually a door to that area as well.
Here was the seller pics when we moved in.
Here it was after cactus removal
And here it after the removal of the island. HUGE SPACE for my kiddos to put in grass. The patio will eventually get jackhammered out, along with those oleanders. and we are planning on a concrete path along the house following the back of the house shown here (sorry, wheelchair and granite doesn't mix well, bad angle but you get the idea)
That whole side is going to be a kitchen/entertainment area. Complete with garden all the way at the end. We are still in the design phase for the space, but we are going to get the utilities run and the concrete laid down so I can at least move all my cookers over there. Sadly the lemon tree is going, but I plan to plant both lemon and lime trees in the back.
This has been years in the making, and I can't wait. My old man is helping me (well, the grandkids ) out with this. Plus I can actually get around on the grass and play with my kids.
More pics to come as it progresses, but we're finally here!
Thanks for looking!!!
