I bought a house almost 2 years ago, it was a fixer upper for sure. Build in 1950, the previous owner didn't do much maintenance and I bought it as is. Since I am single without kids I did all the yard work except for running the back hoe. The house was gutted and completely restored, then I tackled the back yard...
This is what the yard looked like on move in day
After a little yard work and a lot of cactus removal
What a beauty!
Since the back hoe was available we replaced the 64 year old waterline first
Then the pool, this was more fun than working
I'm slowly working on the landscaping, new mesquite trees have been planted with berms and swales for water harvesting.
