Yard...even if hard to see it is very pretty..I am proud of it

Ok...this is to show you the far right where there is no front flower bed. The rest of the property in the very front hasn't changed so much but this is the closest I could get to showing nothing there. Back yard, No door, no flower beds, no walk way, no arbor, no flagstone, no patio, etc...

Shows the other side. We did add the little top over the back patio after we moved in and took out a tree that would have blocked this view (it died) but this at least shows it before we did much.
Back far corner....mess and mounds....moved dirt from the front back here. See the short fence? We have replaced 3/4 of the fence and added bamboo to the last 1/4
This is an after....This is that front yard that was empty in the very first picture....added a "few" items...
This is a better picture of the most recent patio pavers we added under the bistro table set to give it some style...
Course this is my junkpile...Adding things all the time but its at least not the only thing to look at anymore....
View from the junkpile to the back corner of the yard....
Remember the piles in the back corner that was all dirt and mess? This is what I did with it...hard to see will show more close up next....
New small flowerbed between the back sides of the house....right in the center of the back of the house...
This is now the back patio, before all that had been improved was the top over the patio, we added walkways, flagstone, and a shade garden in the back corner...
Better close up of the back patio and flagstone. We used the flagstone to extend the patio just a little to make it not see so crowded...this door goes to our bedroom. The lawnmower is only TEMPORARILY here until I get the door fixed on the back shed!

Love the patio. And, I must admit the kitty pix are adorable. I could have sent my two over to help your two. But, it looks like they did ok on their own.
