Backyard from Scratch

Gehrke in CA

A summer project that we barely finished before the rain came. I hired contractors to do the concrete and an electrician to wire the spa. My father-in-law and I built the bbq from scratch. Careful planning allowed us to have the cook and guests at different heights. We also built the arbor- check your city code and inform your neighbors of your plans- I did all the stonework and my wife and I did all the landscaping and irrigation. Bury those drip lines to avoid them becoming the dog's next toy.

Love all the stonework you did. It adds texture and warmth to the area. Where are you located? I can't imagine what happens to the bark in a rain storm. You have created an outstanding area for your family and friends.
