Landscaping was finished yesterday!! It's very exciting and we love it! It was supposed to take two weeks and ended up taking six weeks exactly, but some things came up that pushed back the schedule, and we're okay with that. We're waiting on an electrician to finish electrical work and connect everything so we can have an outlet right here along our view fence, but that's the last thing. Then we'll eventually add a fountain, some plants, and furniture.
We were supposed to have five boulders in one corner of our backyard but we left two of them in the front yard. One was too heavy to move without a machine, so I told the landscapers to roll it somewhere in the front.
One side of our yard is narrow and we don't expect to use it, so we put leftover pavers by that gate and made a spot for a small air conditioner we may install in our smaller garage. Our HOA doesn't want any pavers up against the shared walls between yards that may cause drainage issues, so it looks awkward but that's why our side patios don't extend to the walls.

This back corner doesn't quite match the vision I had for it, and the rocks aren't quite right yet, but I'm thinking of what to try next in this corner...maybe a fun sculpture among the rocks? The poles are for Dan's hammock. He already loves this spot.
