Backyard Progress-back fence

OK, What you see on top are the before photos. We ripped out all the green ivy and I've been pulling weeds in this area for 6 months. I've put weed killer RIGHT on the ivy leaves and they just laugh at it. Anyway, we spent two hours just going to town on the back fence area and we spread 1 cubic yard of bark... I LOVE BARK! This is what it looks like today!
