March 23, I mentioned that we had our landscapers come over to trim our trees and also got estimates for putting in a patio cover. Well, we decided to have our landscapers come back this week to take out all our old rock, put new rock in, put new irrigation systems in, plant new plants in the backyard, lay brick for a planting bed on the side-yard in the back of the house and the front of the house, lay brick for a walk way, and also lay stepping stones. Seems like a huge project, I know, but it only took them three days and they're all finished! Next week, the patio cover people will be coming by to put up our patio cover. We weren't expecting them for another 3-4 weeks, but they are able to start right away. Plus, it only takes them a day to put up! My hubby and I are super excited with how everything is turning out. This weekend we will be going back to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Star Nursery for bedding plants and hopefully to find a patio set. Because we have two planting beds (one in the backyard on the side of the house and one in the front yard on the same side of the house) the planting bed in the backyard will be a vegetable garden and the planting bed in the front will be all flowers. Here is the patio set we are considering to get (btw the hubster really wants a fire pit):
Alright, now what you've all been waiting for...here are the before and after pictures of our renovation!

I was totally going to get you a firepit for Christmas! Target had a really good deal on them but my mom seemed to think you guys wouldn't want one.. I guess I won't listen to her anymore :)
I wish we had a place for one. They are awesome.
I really like the brick walkway and how excited are you to garden in your planting bed? Everything looks great!
Brittany, I love it! Party time!
@Jessi - That's funny that you were thinking about getting us a firepit! lol. Yes, I can't wait to finally start gardening. I have a gardening date in a few weeks with Kaitlyn. She is excited to help her auntie. :)
@Mom - Yes!
