Backyard landscaping photos-BEFORE

Our lot sits at over 13,000 square feet. We have a very large corner lot, with an odd-shaped backyard.
We have a side yard off our master bedroom, which looks like this presently. We envision a master bedroom oasis, complete with fountain, lush trees, benches, and landscape lighting.

This is the view looking towards the pool, from the back gate. We already have our landscaping plan designed, but we are looking for the right installer at the moment. We have to make several trips to the dump, in order to get rid of all our demo materials, as seen in the bottom portion of the picture. We just got done painting the back fence today. We still have to paint over by where Matt's workshop is (we has building cabinets, so we couldn't paint over there) and the back and side of the house.

We have another landscaping area to the East of our newly extended patio. We have plans for a BBQ set-up and a bar. Also a plot of grass, landscape lights, and some agaves and other succulents.

This is the difference in the paint colors. The new color is an almost-exact match of the original color of the house. The color when we bought the house is the color on the right-a periwinkle/lavendar color. What a difference paint makes!!! Hopefully we'll have the house painted this week!

This is the main landscaping section. We are going to build a cool 60s inspired bench seat all around the 40 year old Acacia tree, install a geometric plot of grass, put in lots of landscape lighting, and add small plants throughout. We'll also be building a wood fence to conceal our pool equipment.
