Backyard Remodel

Dave says: We love our big pie-shaped backyard. The west side was landscaped with rock and desert plants when we moved in which was easy in terms of maintenance but not very usable for us or Skye. We decided it was time for an update consisting of pavers, turf, and a playset. I chopped and transplanted a few prickly pear behind the wall but otherwise the desert landscape remained largely intact. We added a big loop of pavers around the turf and two raised mounds and hopefully someday soon Skye will be out there doing laps. Having a big chunk of turf has also been nice. Finally, we got Skye a playhouse off Craigslist that we put under the trees so it is typically shaded. Some days she likes her playhouse and some days she just wants to run around in the dirt looking for interesting rocks to pick up. In the evenings right before dusk is our favorite time for hanging out here.
