house on austin
When we moved into our house, our backyard was pretty bleak.
Here's a before shot:
We wanted to create an outdoor oasis in our southern home, a place for the whole family to enjoy all year long.
How we started before our backyard makeover: The backyard was a mess, with a fire pit and a brick wall that felt random and unnattractive.
First step: find inspiration
We looked all over for inspiration on how to create our backyard oasis, and found so many gorgeous examples.
To begin, we poured a concrete patio to match the brick retaining wall and help it look intentional and cohesive.
Next, we worked to flatten the area next to the patio for our pool.
Budget
$3000
