I've had a love hate relationship with my backyard. I've loved the space, the trees and the possibilities. But over the years the backyard has taken a beating. Trees dying, hot tub in then out, garden spaces in then out, shrubberies, the mystery of the city's missing sewer manhole and last but not least the 70 foot trench that had to be dug to replace the house's sewer line.
I've wanted to have it leveled and simplified for a number of years and this year, the year of the Coronavirus I finally had the money to make it happen. Nothing like being confined to the house for a number of months to reduce my travelling and increase my savings account.
I contacted several contractors but finally found the amazing team at Idaho Classic at: https://www.landscapingservicesblackfoot.com/
This team was great to work with. They communicated well and had great suggestions for improvements to my plan. They got the work done on time and on budget. I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to improve their yards. They do sprinklers too.
Before photos:
You can see the non-grass covered remains of part of the trench
And the remains of the most recent garden attempt
Volunteer honey locust trees popping up where I don't want them and in the far right corner the mound of dirt leftover from the sewer line replacement.
Work in process
Such a lovely FLAT yard!!!
Finished
I know it doesn't look like much if you haven't been living with the mounds and debris of the past but this is stunning.
The lone planting bed planted with arborvitae, irises, tulips and other bulbs
