  • The side yard before shot.  The old retaining wall and fence sat at least 2 feet onto our neighbor's property.  They are grand folks, and would never make an issue of it, but it was clear that any new fencing/walls needed to correct it 4
  • The view of the backyard from the south side of the house. And it is already missing the very, very sad 'privacy fence'--a failing wooden mess that our lab found himself running right through when chasing a ball!
  • 4
  • The side yard as it looks now. All fencing is repurposed and was purchased off of Craigslist. 6
  • There had been some attempt to deal with the slope. The timbers were quite well rotted and collapsing in places.
  • This the west end of our yard as seen from just inside our alley gate. 1
  • Gate from side yard with upcycled (what a nice way to say we hauled concrete rubble from the dump) pathway. There was a gate of sorts here, but nothing more than a muddy path. 3
  • Flagstone stepping stones lead to a lower patio. Steps take you to the upper patio and the backporch.
  • An old view from the neighbor's backyard.  After demolishing those rotting timbers, we found a collapsing cement retaining wall behind it.

Backyard Mega Makeover

When we bought this old house three summers ago, the backyard was a nightmare. I remember standing on the back porch with the realtor and saying, "Wow, this could be beautiful." She looked at me as if I were out of my mind. ;-)

flagstone patio with stonedust

We got this flagstone from a property being cleared (with permission). There was enough to do a patio off the deck and a pond with a patio. Here is the finish. That is polymeric sand in ...»
the joints. Now it needs to be sealed, wet look or just a glaze? We are not sure. What is best? We did the flagstone pond w/ patio last summer. That is stone dust in between the joints at the pond.
