Back Yard Project

[Jimmy82abn]

I am glad to say that after a long two years we are finally finished with our back yard project.

It took a long time but with work, travel and not trying to go insane we finally got it done. I can happily say I designed and engineered the whole thing.

I need to find a good hammock for the side yard but other then that it is finished.

Here are a couple of pics showing the start to the finish.

Unbelievable. Just gorgeous. I can't wait to get a new house with a bigger backyard to do fun stuff like this.

Looks really good man. I can appreciate all that work. I laid a 1000 square foot patio last summer. 50 tons of freaking ston and 30 of dirt. I was working like a damn slave. When i learn how to post pics ill throw em up
Next spring im adding an above ground pool, jacuzzi, a pergola over hte smaller patio and over hte long walkway

Now THAT'S a back yard where a guy could have a drink! Very nice and classy!

I love the waterfall. That is next on my list of outdoor projects, albeit a bit smaller. Question for ya tho, running the return pump, have you noticed a significant increase in your electric bill?

[IgotDANUTZ]

Yeha that waterfall is sweet. Im thinking about a small pond and waterfall in my yard but im afraid it would attract mosquitos

I put a pond with a 15' long waterfall in early summer --- no mosquito's at all this summer! The trick with it - make sure you don't have standing water in the pond - that's how you attract them!

I was eyeing that waterfall, too. . .awesome!

Mosquitos need still water to breed, they won't breed in moving water.

It looks like you are under invasion from really small aliens.

Great job though, wish I had the space to do that. Is the main patio stamped concrete?
