Backyard & New Deck Plan

Sharing our step by step journey as we overhaul our back yard into an entertaining oasis…

So far, we built a fence. Currently staining her (I have a whole post on building her and doing this this of you’ve been following along-I’ll share the link in the comments)

Next step is designing and permitting for our new deck and entertaining space. I do these I’m Canva and I’m definitely not a pro at all…this is just play around and visualize, and get ideas. I find it to be really helpful.

This is the current, rough plan we’re using as our guide.

It includes

▪️A pergola area off the dining room

▪️much expanded deck

▪️lower deck with seating and stock tank pool

▪️storage unit

▪️small greenhouse

▪️Gravel covered space with Adirondack chairs and fire pit
