Well not a plan per se, but when something finally happens that you are extremely happy/grateful for. My dad and grandpa came over and helped me clean the backyard, since the previous owners apparently haven’t touched it in years. [edited because kinja]
Below is a pic Where the non-dead, green grass is; all of it was full of tree saplings, foot long grass ( I’m not even exaggerating here), fallen timber, etc. I personally took a trimmer and cut it all down since it was too high for the mower.
On a hunch/whim, I told them to clear it until the hill drops ( I live on a big hill). They cleared at least 20’ of brush! It actually looks like I have a back yard now!
It still needs some work, but it looks 10x nicer now. We are going to need to relocate the fire pit though, I believe it’s right above the septic field (ah, country living...). Still, house ownership is exhausting but I love the results!

I can only assume all three pics weren’t supposed to be of the fire, and it’s Kinja being Kinja. I know the feeling of trying to reclaim a lost yard. It’s a royal PITA, but once you get it manageable it's a million times better

I think you got Nibb’d. It looks like the same picture 3 times.

It looked right in the draft, *grumble*.

You’re right, and I edited the post. Stupid kinja.....
It looks so much better now though, I love it.
