These are pictures from our backyard before and after the mulch area and swingset were put in. Doug did most of the work by himself with a little help from some friends and I.

Here is a picture of our backyard shortly after we moved in. In did not look quite as nice after two years.
Here is the equipment that Doug rented to work on the backyard. There was much more prep work that we had to do before this ever happened, about three months of work.
This is what the backyard looked like right after the playhouse was torn down and before the large equipment was brought in.
Here is the backyard after the mulch area is ready for the swingset and the sandbox is in.
And here is the finished project. Mulch in, swingset installed and ready to play.
