After hooking up to the sewer, we had a little concrete work done to extend the front drive to make room for another car. On the back of the house we extended the patio on both sides to allow for a larger seating area, and be able to get to the trash cans without tracking through the sand. On the far side of the house we dug up and sifted the sand to remove grass and put down a weed barrier, then covered it with rock.
