So we started with our “natural bush” setting of a backyard. It was little rough around the edges to say the least! The house was built new and as such the backyard left in the “natural” state it was for a number of years. The front yard had been wonderfully landscaped for us by the estate developers when we moved in, and during that process we asked the landscaper to quote on doing some work in the backyard.
We were scared because “roughly 15 grand” was the unofficial quote from the guy who did the front yard. “Just for the back part … that wouldn't cover the side yard” which was the biggest part of the yard (see below).

After we picked ourselves up off the ground, we kind of went into a state of shock for a long time. How were we ever going to afford to landscape the backyard? We’d just blown everything we had on building the place, there was no way we could afford to landscape!
So we sat on it, with the backyard being our dirty little secret for many years, until we has saved enough money to get something done about it.
I wasn't sitting completely idle though...I had a plan!
