Our Backyard Oasis

For once, I remembered to take "before" photos prior to last week's home improvement project - a stamped patio in our backyard.  A patio was something we had wished for since living in our old house.  Since our deck is higher than ground level, we wanted a place to sit while the boys play.  In just four days last week, the ground was leveled, concrete was poured, retaining wall was built, and patio was stained.  I'm not sure we could love the final product any more than we do and we pretty much spent the entire weekend on it.

And a few eleven more photos because, well, I'm pretty much in love.

  5. It looks awesome!!! I saw on IG that you guys did this but I love the before and after comparison shots here. What a GREAT little space for you guys!
    Side note/question... do you guys not have a fence around your backyard? Do people not do that there? Maybe people here are just so rude and have to know exactly how much room is theirs that we do that LOL. My friend in Maryland didn't have a fence around her backyard either. It was always so weird to me though, like how do you know where your property ends?
