As you all know and heard me say many times before, my husband and I bought our home back in 2017 and haven’t stopped messing with it. We like to do little projects here and there, but there was one major project that needed to be done… The backyard. This was a hard one, full of surprises and it took over 6 months to become the perfect place we wanted to have at our home.
We actually worked on it a little bit but it wasn’t the backyard we wanted so we decided to change it all. Well, almost all of it.
We had 18 palm trees when we moved here, several of them were not doing well so they had to be removed. The issue is that some of the larger plants and trees had strong large roots and those roots were damaging the floor, so we had to do the entire backyard. Let me show you what it looked like before we started to work on it.
I know some people are going to say that it looked great before already. Yes it did, I have to agree but we had way too many issues with the trees and that kitchen was not functional at all. We never actually used it, so we took the kitchen down ourselves and it was a lot of work. It was solid cement and we ended up needing help from Home Depot. We rented real tools, and my husband dad helped a lot.
The rest was done by a company in Arizona who added stones, turf and some other details. I think they did a great job. Let me know if you like the blue decor and details we added at the end. Cheers!
We got the pergola from Amazon (visit the storefront) and we got some of the furniture from Walmart – Better homes and garden. Lots of the accessories were from Amazon and Target. I will try to post some more renovations soon, stay tuned!
Xoxo, Cam!
