In the process to update our backyard and make it more functional a major component is the very old and very large Brazilian Pepper Tree hat is smack dab in the middle of the yard. There are things that I have loved about this tree. It gives us lots of privacy for one and for another, I know that more than a few birds call it home. It is a very invasive tree though and it takes up the bulk of our backyard. So any design that we do will include removing it.

The difference is amazing! While we can now clearly see out neighbors house behind us, the yard now looks huge. I had no idea that we had so much space back there. In this last picture we laid out where the concrete will go. I am so excited for the new yard (even though it is not a pool like I had dreamed).
