Remodeling the Garden

I suppose we have all known someone or have at one time or another remodeled a house.  But have you ever heard of "remodeling the garden"?  Most of the time it is usually referred to as "landscaping or    some other synonyms I found were;  decorate, adorn, grace, ornament, embellish, beautify.  

White picket fence (very much in need of painting)

Deck and Hot tub

Grow boxes with beans and cucumbers

Deck 

Fence Knik Knaks

Arbor and a hammock (My son Chris's project, sure turned out great!!!)

We moved into our house 13 years or so ago.  It has been a work in progress ever since then.  The first thing we did with our yard was to build some grow boxes and start a garden (right away I think we were beautifying the yard with the grow boxes and the vegetables and flowers that grew in them).  A few years later came the deck and a hot tub (hence the embellishment).  I've always been a fan of white picket fences and since we only had a little dog, who could not jump very high, we built one and so we; graced  the garden.  My husband loves little fence knik knaks  or as some may call them, ornaments,  so we lined our fence with them.  Along the way we have added; a swing, a market umbrella, a gazebo and some other various patio furniture.  You might say we decorated the deck.

  And this year's project is a arbor to adorn the back 40 (or more like the back 5) of our postage stamp yard.

Our remodeling has taken many years to complete (and there are still more things to do) but we have been thorough in covering all the elements of a true backyard remodeling or landscaping job.
