Roughly 35 by 40 feet. EP Henry pavers with a bench wall with columns in one corner with a pergola. I will install the pergola myself and add three retractable awnings on it (we're light skinned sunburn-prone people). I will add a future gas fire table and will build a curved bar for it too. The yard is 2.56 acres big and the backside of the house has a brick patio and wooden deck that hangs over the bank to the creek 40 feet below (see this photo):
Here is what the front of the house looks like:
I've been working my building projects since I retired from the USAF 10 years ago. Here is what I did:
Added a home theater
Cleaned and organized the basement and garage
Added a poolhouse (Amish built) and built a powder room in it (including 90 feet of trenching for sewer)
Built rear patio retaining wall and deck
Added water and power to three far locations in the yard
Replaced the roofing
Repaved and added “circle” to driveway (contractor)
Built custom sign for end of driveway
Added LED lighting to 500 foot long driveway
Replace pool liner
Rebuilt, painted shed and reroofed it
Installed hot tub
Rebuilt a John Deere Gator, added dump bed lift kit and lighting
Removed underground 550 gallon heating oil tank (contractor)
Plus other things that I can’t remember now (on top of getting married 9 years ago)
Here are some photos of some of these projects:
