I moved out to a farm yard a couple months ago and now that the weather is warm (or warmer) I am trying to get some ideas for yard ideas. Space is not much of a problem just trying to figure how to use it. If guys have any pics that would be great. Thanks.

What do you want to have in the yard? What ever you do mowing grass will take up lots of time unless you go with the concrete suggested above :)

a loading ramp may be nice, high as the truck box. get yourself a couple horses or cows as you can spend alot of quality time cutting the "green". get yourself a best friend {dog}. put up all kinds of worley gigs, birdhouses and maybe a hammock under a pair of trees. get a mosquito killer machine or you may spend time indoors, or yeah fire pit for hotdogs and wobbley pops.

We need pictures of your yard "as is" to come up with suggestions. I'm assuming you want somewhere in the range between Bogger's and Polarice's yard ideas?!!:d

Beautiful yard Polarice, did you have a landscaper/developer or do all that on your own? Gorgeous:beer:

Been busy and the internet has been down. Well Polarice pics of house and yard are definately great I think that it might take me a while to get there. The pic are good the main thing I wanted to see is how you go from one area to another. Grass to dirt to mulch to gravel. I might have over thought it.
