Yard Work















The exceptionally wet winter took its toll on our backyard.


This past weekend we picked up 2 cubic yards of bark, 1 cubic yard of gravel, and 1 cubic yard of cobble.

We spent majority of the time working on our backyard. We created 2 french drains with the gravel/cobble to help with water pooling.

We spread gravel on the side of our house that does not get oo much sun, we spread bark throughout our front and back yard planters, and resodded the grass area that died.

We probably spent 14 plus hours on these projects...and still have not finished!

We have a lot more work to do!!!

Looks beautiful! I wish I had a grass yard. In Sedona, everyone has rock. Only the golf courses are green....how sad! What a cute neighborhood you are in. We miss seeing you guys in CA! I'm excited to catch up through your blog!

Love ya, Jen
