Landscaping With Children

We decided to build a path from the new deck to the fence gate. We had made the deck bigger and it's been an amazing outdoor space. We decided to make this path to put an end to mud. The grass didn't grow well in this area and we had just completed some landscaping around the deck and on the back side of the house. A path would be nice.

Except building a path with kids, well, it takes a little longer and involves a lot more dirt and sand management. The kids were great helpers and in less than 2 weekends we finished the path. It looks great and I love walking on it. Roo loves to try to dig up the sand on it. I think it'll be the last path we build for a while. But I'm glad we did it ourselves and the results were worth the effort!
