Best part , this Shade Garden Makeover comes with a Fire Pit field .   Just a little background on our synthetic heroin upper yard . We move into our current fixer upper home in August of 2016 .

Below is what this arena looked like when we moved in . decidedly not as hideous as some of the other areas in the yard , so it was bumped down a little on the anteriority list . We did like the flame pit area , but I just had a unlike vision for it . I can see this surface area from my kitchen window and I did n’t really like what I saw and dreamed of what it could be .
