Fully aware of just how bad the "before" was
finished off the pavers today finally. Have to redo the poly sand since a lot of it immediately washed out the first time, but hubby wanted to powerwash all of it first. Its been 2 hours and still isn't totally dry yet. May or may not get that done today. About to get measurements to draw out how I'm going to do the paving in front of the shed, in the walkway of the gate, and then I think a brick path from the patio to the shed and shed to the gate. Small raised bed going in that last square of concrete, then pea gravel around the edges to cover the last of the concrete. Fence and finishing the drainage will be next after that, then putting in the last of the pathway work. Area under the tree will be getting a sandbox type dog potty area with a drainage rock base. Garden area will extend out to meet where the as of yet non existent raised bed ends with a pea gravel channel between and then will be getting framed in with chicken wire (I'm already down a cantaloupe and sweet potato plant, rabbits probably) and a door. If my swamp rose bounces back that will go against the fence near the shed, and then any remaining space along that side of the fence or between the patio and path I'm going to roll the dice on attempting to plant with native flowers and grasses, though if they survive my dumb dogs or not is yet to be seen. May get some of that short decorative garden fence stuff to try to deter them but we will see lmao. I'm just excited that there's finally an end in sight
