Patio - Day 1

Day 1 began around 1pm with the removal of two large evergreen trees. They also removed several bushes along our back fence and most of one of the large planting beds along the side fence. It's remarkable how much larger our yard is with just two trees gone - we gained back about 1/4 of yard space!

Before with trees:


After:

(excuse the poor photography - I was working with a setting sun and a certain 11 month old strapped to me)

The trees were in the right hand side of this photo and the large planting bed extended the entire length of that wooden fence and came out about 5-7 feet


Tomorrow - bye bye rickety, rotting, ginger bread house deck! I won't miss you!
