Hi everybody! We have alot going on in our back yard right now, and we're so happy to show it to you. We've been wanting to re-do our back yard patio for awhile now and that time has finally come. We're getting an outdoor kitchen, it'll be simple, but hopefully it'll have everything we need, I chose to have a pergola kitchen because I have always liked them and because we didn't want it enclosed because it would block to much of our back view. I am so happy to be sharing this with you my friends. ❤️

Hi~ Why not have both? I recently saw a fountain bowl with fire pit within! It looked gorgeous & so unique. The water trickled from the bowl into gravel below, then recirculated back into water bowl. The flames looked spectacular at night reflecting off the water. The company is Aquascape outside Chicago with dealers all over the USA. 🙋

More Ivy info… We have a block wall on both sides of our house covered in Ivy. It’s beautiful! It has to be trimmed and maintained. You might need to hire someone to trim it periodically. It gets messy when trimmed and the leaves will be all over your crushed rock areas. We use a leaf blower weekly to keep it clean looking. Best of luck to you. Sounds beautiful!

Sounds like an oasis to me! One note on the wall of Ivy. It can get very heavy as it grows and will shorten the life of your fence. Incorporating a vine support structure right in front of the fence and walls will keep it from damaging both the wood and the block. Whatever you decide, I hope that you guys enjoy it for many years to come. 😁

We had Ivy on our back fence as well. It lifted the whole thing up! Once the Ivy destroyed the fence, it was what was holding the fence up. I have seen it lift sidewalks, patios and houses from the foundation. That is why it is banned in some states. It is very invasive. Not to mention all the rodents it attracts and live in the ivy. It looks beautiful, but can be a major headache.

Love the paver pattern on the patio. I wish I could have the exact thing. I look forward to seeing the kitchen. If it were mine I wouldn't use ivy, a lot of work to control it, no to the fire pit, again more work to manage it and little time to enjoy it anyway. The ivy and dense plantings keep your mosquito population high and will be home to snakes. I'm constantly cutting back ivy and low growth, too much work now in my mid 70s. It's a treat to see you excited about your new home. You work hard and deserve the best.

Hi Rachel. You may want to do a deep dive into the pros and cons of planting fig ivy. The tendrils can grab onto any surface and cause the grout between bricks to loosen and it is invasive. It has NO boundaries. 🌿🌱😩. My neighbor cursed the day she planted fig ivy because it does not last long and paid a fortune to have it removed. They had to scrape the walls and it is labor intensive.

Must be nice to have such a nice home and getting such a big beautiful backyard!! I'm happy for you. Just surprises me how so many KZbin posters have such big homes when most of us are barely surviving. Not being mean, I'm a little jealous, but am very thankful for my apartment. Hope you have many ond3rful family and friend events/parties out there!!

Thank you so much for your comment my friend, being a youtuber has been one of the hardest jobs I've ever had, all of it has been hard work and dedication. I love what I do and nothing was given to me for free. Blessings to you. ❤️

Rachel, how blessed to see your backyard. I think you have been there a little over a year so things take time. It really is a perfect space for entertaining and so private. Looking forward to seeing the next phase. God bless!

Horrible idea about planting the ivy! 😮 Unless you want rats and vermin. They love ivy! And if youre cooking out there... perfect environment for them. We had ivy growing up a fence line, and one day, I saw movement in the hedge. 🤔 RATS!! 😮 Not any more! We had it all taken out. Just something to consider, Miss Rachel. 😊❤

It's the least expensive ground cover, and I hate it! our HOA tried planting it in my font door area, and the minute the gardeners left, I went out with my hoe and dug that crap out 🤨 AS IF I need more critters around. Bogenvilias would be a much prettier idea.

As a title insurance underwriter, I truly, deeply thank you for not building in the easement. You've really saved yourself (and future owners) a HUGE headache.

she didnt have a choice, you cant build on easements. Mind you, there are people that dont care with that I agree with you. 😊

@@snotina I've been in this industry for 12 years, so I've seen plenty of people build on easements. Like you said, they don't care!(And then of course they get angry that there's no compensation or legal recourse when they have to remove the structures. Every day I drive by a house -- two blocks from city hall -- whose owners just built part of a new deck and an entire new fence on a drainage and utilities easement. Never saw a surveyor's flags or utility markings, either. I wouldn't want to be them when code enforcement shows up!)

​@@ashextraordinaireWhat happens when the city says it's ok and allows it? There are cities out there where anything goes - saw fence and large garage go up right on easement storm sewer and electric & the people had no problem getting a permit.

@@ashextraordinaire An easement is pretty hard to work around, but if someone wishes to take issue with anything built on it, they are certainly within their rights to do so. I have a neighbor who completely changed the style of roof. In doing so the roof peaks are the same height as the chimney. Never were there utilities marked or a permit pulled for any work. It’s always best to do complete research on the property you purchase! The thing you love most about your property may well not be legal!!
