We redid our backyard in April, it's just taken me a while to post the pictures. These don't really do it justice, but if you've seen our backyard, you know it wasn't very child-friendly and it didn't have the best layout. I know there are way too many pictures, but I couldn't get a good shot of the whole thing since the yard is relatively small, so I had to do it in parts. Both the before and after shots were taken without any of our patio furniture.
While the work was in progress, Zak kept saying he wanted to see how the backyard was doing, and said it looked nice. That's how he says he wants to go out and play "See how backyard's doin'"
Before - the giant ficus tree
After - without the tree, we have a lot more light
Before - we had a little circular patio and pavers underneath the gazebo (which was in a weird spot in the middle of the yard)
After - we had a much larger patio poured (with a flagstone border) and potted the palm trees

After - we have a much larger grass/play area. Zak love to play soccer (he got a goal for his birthday from Auntie Allie). We also set up a baseball tee last night for him to play with - he did great!

Here's a couple scary flashbacks to way before - right after we moved in
