I took some more photos of the backyard after the improvements we made during the G20 and Canada Day long weekends. After removing much of the overgrown garden and installing a new lawn, my brother helped me to install some new back steps, a bench seat, and a fence along the driveway. We may still add a small patio at the bottom of the steps, but we want to find the right patio set first. The main goal for this year was to give us a backyard space that our whole family can enjoy (especially baby and dog), and I think we have done that. Next year we will embark on a more ambitious project that will likely include a garage renovation, a new deck and/or patio, and a lot of new fencing.
