Backyard Evolution... The continuance

You might remember a few weeks back my first post on the evolution of our backyard? If not, I forgive you, but click here to bring yourself up to speed.

Anyhoo, Mr Nutt and I talked and discussed, and talked some more about our overall plans for the yard and it was a fore drawn conclusion that we needed to make the most of the outlook over the back fence.

This again meant that for the greater good, some garden space and plants had to be sacrificed.  Bye bye grevillea and unidentified deciduous tree in the way of our master plan - a deck.

Learning from our first experience with stump removal, we called in the experts for the next one but still did all the back breaking labour to level the ground ready for the deck, including digging not one, but six post holes to save on labour costs - I repeat... ka-razy!

Okay so all my pics show Mr Nutt doing a lot of work... I helped, I promise!

Enlisting the services of a local tradie, the deck was complete in a day.

There is still plenty more to do in the way of our vision for the yard, but progress is progress and you can't ask for more than that.

More colour from our garden...
