So now what's next?

With all the grass removed and hardscaping added, focus will be on the 3 planting beds next year. This one is closest to the house.



Here's the east side planting bed.



And the west side planting bed.



In the spring, I'll start researching some ideas for what to plant. In addition to planting, here are some more things to review next year to finish the backyard:
- stone ornaments
- wood work, such as benches or trellis
- metal fence and gates at entrance to backyard
- buying a barbeque grill and patio furniture
- painting and repairing the fence



That's it for this year. See you next year!
