We spent the better part of yesterday going through model homes to get ideas for backyard landscaping. My husband really wants to have a nice patio in our new backyard. My in-laws gave us money to either do a patio or get something else that is needed. (I think we need a kitchen table, but what do I know!) We saw some nice yards, but I don’t think any of them really go with our backyard. If we have to have some kind of deck, I prefer the ones made out of large stone or slate though.
