Gravel

 We have long been peeved about our backyard gravel. The gravel is super fine and always gets thrown onto the turf, which created the super fun chore of picking the little rocks out of the fake grass. 

Stephen got his backyard landscaped and suddenly had a big pile of extra gravel under his trampoline. It was bigger rock size and a nice lighter color. Aaron suggested that we move it from Stephen's house to ours using our trash can loaded into the back of our minivan. 

How I imagined this going:

How it actually turned out:

I absolutely adore it! And I think the mulching around the base of the trees will be better for them. Kudos to Aaron for making his vision a reality. It took about a month of Aaron and sometimes Stephen hauling a few trashcans full of gravel every week to cover the backyard. 

Other projects we have going on lately: A neighbor moved out and left us some backyard decor and a leaf blower! I blasted out 6 years worth of mesquite leaves from our front yard gravel and put it in our new compost bin, which I made by drilling a bunch of holes in a trashcan. Basically we are really into trashcans around here lately.
