In phase two of the backyard reno, we added a retaining wall along the fence line to raise and level the right side of the yard. This made the small grass area more usable for the kids, and also allowed us to add a playset tucked in the corner next to the garage.

Love the plan for the planter boxes! And we hear you with the weeds, especially around the edge of the sidewalk. We just picked up some Roundup last week for ours!

I wish the planter boxes were in the budget this year, but I'm so happy knowing that our lawn is going to look great!
Lisa says
I hear ya with the weeds! It still baffles me that with our dry weather here in Denver we still get so many weeds! Sometimes even through weed barrier. Roundup is a must!
Angela, Blue i Style says
I agree! And after all the rain we got in the last couple of days the weeds are really going crazy now! Thank goodness for Roundup!

Your home is beautiful! Love the front door and your plans for the planters sound nice. Or tall, skinny trees? I enjoy pulling weeds for the first few weeks and then it gets too much. Round up definitely helps, especially on our patio.

You're a better woman than me that you enjoy pulling weeds at all! It's one of my least favorite chores – I'm hoping I won't need to pull weeds this year! 🙂

Having a pretty patch of grass makes the yard so inviting!

What a beautiful home and yard! Roundup is definitely a help too!
