Hi, we purchased our home back in 2004. The huge norway spruce tree by the house was the only tree on the property. We have done all the landscaping, flower beds, fencing, etc. ourselves. We have always had dogs so we wanted a space where our four legged children could have lots of space to play and hang out. Our backyard area is our own private oasis, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do !

For your visit we have a two tone brown box next to the garage. It has 2 chairs for humans, toys, a water bowl, poop bags and treats. Please leave the bowl on top after use for us to clean. Water can we found directly across from the box on the side of the house. or next to the A/C unit on the back of the house. We do keep the large deck blocked due to a smoker with grease bucket. It tends to attract noses.
