This past Saturday, Mr. Morgan and I worked in the yard. We planted some flowering perennials in our bed in the front yard, but the hard work was putting in a French drain in the backyard.
Our plan is, and has been for a year or so, to put in a rock patio in the back yard. We've had many steps to complete before the rock could be laid: Last year we had gutters installed, and last week we had our AC unit moved from the backyard, where it made too much noise, to the side of our house, where it can't be heard when we're enjoying our backyard.
Installing a French drain was our next step, and we got it done on Saturday! Mr. Morgan used the shovel to dig a 25 ft trench that was 12 inches deep, and I helped by using the hoe to smooth the bottom of the trench. Our next step is to have the back of the house pressure-washed, which should be completed this week. Then we'll make a final decision on the type of rock we want for the patio.
