Fire Pit

The Stewarts are all about some outdoor fun in the spring, summer, and fall.  As a result, we've taken many steps to make our backyard living space as entertaining as possible.  When we first moved in, we added a screened porch and back patio.  Last summer, we cleared a portion of our woods and added a sandbox and swingset area.  This summer, we've taken the final steps to our backyard home improvement ~ a fire pit!  We hired the same man who did our patio to come do our fire pit, and he did an awesome job!  It's beautiful!  We spent our Memorial Day weekend putting the final touches on the structure with the landscaping.

Our daylilies along the side of the house have exploded, so we split them and made a bed in front of the fire pit, and to separate the grass from the woodsy area, we planted fragrant tea olives (a row to the right of the daylilies and fire pit area).  The final touch was planting hydrangeas around the fire pit to finish off the bed.  It turned out perfectly.

Our backyard has now come full circle to "our vision" when we first purchased the lot almost 3 years ago.
