Back yard renovation

We have lived in our home now for 6 years and are finally getting around to addressing our backyard.  For years it has been a dirt waste land.  We didn't want grass but we didn't know what to do.  I always wanted to eventually get a pool, but after looking into it found that that little dream wasn't going to happen, so I called a company referred to us by a ward member and got to business.

First thing they had to do was dig up all the water lines Jason and his Dad had layed down years ago.  They water our little garden and ran all over the yard in case we ever wanted to have a yard of grass.  The workers moved everything so that the lines wouldn't be under the cement.

 Here is the smoothed out dirt ready for the cement pour the next day.  We had decided to have a patio from wall to wall and then have a cement pathway that goes around the whole yard so the kids could ride bikes.

 While doing the backyard we decided to also have a cement walkway on the side of the house and extend the walkway off our driveway too.  It was A PROJECT!

The finished results are awesome!  We had artificial turf put down under the swings and it looks so nice!!

 We moved the trampoline to the other side of yard and just started building a fire pit on the right side of the yard.  That post will be forthcoming :)

It only took us 6 years to have a fun backyard.  In my defense I've also had 3 baby girls in the last 6 years.  We've been a little busy!!
