When the Derbeckers built their home behind ours, a survey showed that our backyard was much smaller than we thought. They erected a black chain link fence on the property line that accentuated the small size of our backyard. For months, I tried to figure out how to make the most out of the space that we had. I had Dave Barnhart construct an attractive wooden privacy fence in front of the black chain link fence. We added a pergola that has beautiful wisteria canopy. John Marshall installed a beautiful pond that is now home to several goldfish. Dee Shaw, Carol Kemp and Cindy Bass helped design the layout of my flower beds. When I feel like I need to escape, our backyard becomes a place of solace for me. The gentle sound of the pond’s waterfall is soothing to my soul.
