Privacy Fence Extension

 

With summer rolling around and us working from home, we wanted to finally tackle the beginning stages of our backyard.

After removing trees, redoing sprinklers, laying sod, and painting our block wall a beautiful bluish grey to tie it all together (and painting our whole damn house…), we wanted to add a reddish-brown fence extension to add more earth colors to the backyard and also extend our privacy a bit form the neighbors.

This is not 100% private, but it is very nice to have and makes the backyard feel a lot more secluded.
