New Back Yard and Chloe’s Romp Through the Sprinklers

Posted on March 28, 2008

When we first moved into our house in New Jersey, there was a huge hot tub in the back yard. For some people, this is a perk, but for us it was a hindrance because our back yard is not that big, and it took up more than half of the area we could use for grass. In addition to a gigantic hot tub, the previous owners created a “privacy” screen using these large gorgeous trees, which again took up a large amount of space. We were able to sell the hot tub on Craig’s list (John used the proceeds to buy an XBox) and we have been debating what to do with the hole left behind. Well, its been almost a year now, and we finally hired a professional landscaper to come in, move the trees around, and resod. It looks absolutely beautiful and we now have twice as much grass!

Here are the before and after pictures:
