New Backyard, Day 0

We've started a new renovation... this time in the backyard. The dogs and our lack of green thumbs have done a number on the pretty decent landscaping that existed when we moved in. We're having the yard and patio completely redone to be more drought tolerant, more dog tolerant, and really easy to take care of. Check back here for periodic updates on the progress. Here are some pictures from Day 0: the day before the work started. Today is officially Day 2; yesterday, they came by to spray kill the existing St. Augustine's grass. The pictures aren't all that interesting yet, but we'll keep you posted.
