The Landscapers Are Finished!

Hi All,  the weather was so beautiful today, here in Illinois!  I went out late this afternoon and snapped some backyard pics.  The landscapers were here yesterday and are finished with mulching and stonework.  They did a great job!
 Looking out the door from the den to the patio area...
 They laid big flagstone stepping stones to get from the patio to the backyard...
 There were old yucca plants here.  I had them removed, so this spot is a work in progress...
 Along the back of the den, knockout roses...
 Looking toward the patio from the backyard...
This shows the new addition from the rear...
Another shot from the den...
