Our New Backyard

We had our backyard worked on by David Margetts (a contractor in my ward) and he did a spectacular job. The work included extending the concrete slab across the length of the back of the house, grass in more of the backyard, a concrete pad for our shed, a concrete sidewalk to the gate, and an attached shed. They also replaced the barely living grass in the front yard and put in a gate on the side of the house where there wasn't one. The project is almost done. All that is left is the roofer coming out to put the concrete shingles on the shed roof. We are very pleased and Dave is looking forward to moving the contents of the garage into the shed.








This is the sidewalk along the side of the house.



This is the slab across the back the day after it was poured. The center slab where all the stuff is sitting was already there.




Our new shed from the backyard.









The new shed behind the new gate on the left side of the house. Also you can see our living grass in the front.




We added these prints to the cement while it was still wet. On the right is Jacob's handprits and on the left is Evan's foot smear.

I love the backyard, all that cement makes me jealous. It will be great for the boys to ride bikes on. That shed looks great and I love storage so that makes it even better.

I love the new backyard! What a fun project. That nice yard will definitely come in handy with those two little boys!
