A Before and After

 My daughter who lives in North Carolina bought a condo a couple of years ago. She has two small daughters so she would have preferred a place with a backyard..

I

This was the only “backyard”the condo had.. but she didn’t let that be a deal breaker. 

The small front yards are cared for by the homeowners association, but not the back patio which would be her responsibility.. Oh dear what should a busy professional, who is also a single Mom do? She considered her options, and realized that if she put in new grass…she would have to care for it. So she pulled the sad looking bushes out of the flowerbed,

 

and had fake grass installed in one whole end of the patio.

With the addition of a comfy outdoor sofa, rug 

and  an umbrella which not only provides shade but lights at night, it became a win win!

Great job Stacy!
