Backyard Makeover: Day 2 Progress

So today is day 2 of my backyard makeover. They have made ALOT of progress. My retaining wall is DONE, my patio is ALMOST DONE. They just have to do some smoothing out of the dirt. Fill in the cracks of the patio, and some other misc stuff. Here are some photos to show you the progress of day 2.

Backyard Makeover!

I have been waiting a VERY LONG time to get a backyard makeover! Well, the start of my beautiful backyard to come came today! Our landscaper showed up to start the work!!! Here are some pics of them in action on the first day! Can you tell I am SO EXCITED!

More dirt & end of day 1.

Here are 2 BIG boulders they found. I am actually surprised they only found two. We live a a side hill and there are rocks everywhere!

I know that it doesn't look like much right now, but you have to get ugly & messy before it can get beautiful! It will be so nice to have a functional & nice backyard when it's all finished! More progress to come!

Enjoy!!!
