Every few years, at the beginning of spring, my grandfather would draw out his yard and do a complete redesign. He had a green thumb and loved changing things up. He passed away when I was in middle school. My husband and I have let our backyard get out of hand with weeds, dead grass, and plant overgrowth among other things. But we just had a baby a month ago and I’m motivated to channel my grandfather and make our backyard a place that we want to spend time. I am getting rid of these stone pavers and putting in a raised bed for vegetables and herbs, redoing the fence, and we are getting rid of that weird wooden hanger thing for a swing. What else can we do? That would be easy for two non-gardeners with a newborn?

Is a grill and a picnic table on the horizon?
Probably just take out that little patio thing and grow some good grass all round. The rest looks like a nice yard to have
Step one clear all the stuff out. Step 2, test soil around the yard and amend it.
Large Pets are decidedly unfriendly to most yards
