Backyard trees - before and after

This is our before shot of our backyard. There is A LOT that our backyard needs to get it looking like we want. Stephen has been taking it one phase at a time.

From Gabe's perspective.



We decided to plant 2 emily bruner hollies in both corners, and 6 T-olives staggered along the fenceline.


Little help here.

Stephen said he quickly learned to have 2 holes being dug at the same time. One for him to work on and one for Allie to work on.


Thanks for including Allie. I have a feeling she won't forget these special times spent with her daddy.
And this here, is, ?????. Stephen planted it last year hoping he could nurse it back life. What do you think? Looks like good kinling to me.
Drumroll.....

Ta-da. Here it is. A few years, lots of sun and water and I think it will be grand. Next phase is some smaller plans, bushes, whatever in front of the them and to make it a big bed with mulch. Pappy, bring those workin' hands.
