our yard

We weren't planning on developing our backyard at all this year however, since the neighbors behind us are putting in their fence that means we are putting in fence :)
But before all this fence goes in we need to do our landscaping: a- because the fence will be easier to put in if it's not on all crazy slopes and b- once the fences are up we can't get big dump trucks or giant rocks in to do any landscaping. Thus our summer project has become our backyard.
Don't get too excited, the only work we personally are doing is writing out the checks. This yard is WAY too rocky, odd shaped, rocky, and well, rocky for us to do the work ourselves. So we have a landscaper with lots of big trucks and tractors doing the work.
We won't be doing the grass or plant part this year but even still, our yard is going to look pretty sweet!!
Here is what has been done so far-
-When we moved in most of our property lines were on slopes. Now those slopes have been pushed back and flattened out making the space more functional and the fences easier to put in.
-Our house is set up on a hill. Instead of having our yard be one giant hill, it is now tiered off into three levels.
It's hard to describe but in the end we will have several rock walls separating the yard levels and will have lots of planter box areas and paths. oh and a fire pit and a large area for a garden. By the end of the month the walls and fencing will all be done. It's going to be amazing!!
