Backyard Projects "Before and After"

Earlier this spring we had some work done in our backyard by Bratt Landscaping. Quinn Bratt married my cousin, Brandy Herzog, last year and we had asked him to come by and take a look to see what could be done. We were very pleased with the quality of work they did and would recommend them to anyone! On the north side our fence was leaning, the retaining wall starting to fall over, and as you can see below it was a little steep getting down from the gate. They fixed both retaining walls, stabilized the fence post, put in gorgeous stone steps (they were not cheap:)) and ran some irrigation up and plant some perennial bushes including a burning bush which is bright red in the fall. On the south side there wasn't really much going on, so they guys were able to run some irrigation, put in a retaining wall, and some nice landscaping. The pavers around our hot tub are are nice but the edge was falling out because the grass/ground level was not high enough so they cut out the sod, raised the level with top soil, and put new sod in. It's really pretty in the spring when lots of moss starts to grew in between the pavers, it looks really cool. Anyway enjoy the pictures, there are quite a few!
