Landscaping Phase 3

I think we are on phase 3 of our landscaping projects.  I am not sure how many phases there will be, but I am married to a Landscaper so I doubt we will ever be completely done with landscape projects.  Last year we built a new deck.  We planned on finishing a new paver patio under the deck last summer, but when Nate was laid off from work we decided to wait until this summer.  Well, it is finally done.  We still have a few more things we need to do, but that will happen next year.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Before.  Small deck, no stairs, concrete patio, no garage access to backyard.

Kaitlyn's new play set we got for free.  Just needed to add a coat of stain and it looked brand new.

We still need to add sod, plants, and another patio for our fire pit.  That is our next phase to be completed next spring/summer.  We really enjoy our new outdoor space.  It was worth the wait.
