Not much, but my low-budget back yard transformation

This has been a slow transformation of my back yard since we bought the house in 2018. It was overgrown, with the only decent size area for the kids to play in taken over by an unruly "flower" bed and some arbor vitae. I added some rock areas to transition off the patio main patio that is about 4" higher than everything around it (you can see some of the slope in the rock beds if you look at the base of the retaining walls.

FYI, don't be dumb like me and fill your yard debris bin halfway up with soil and then try to move it. As you can see in pic 9, that did not go well. And yes, I knew better before I did it. I was just being an idiot.
