Our backyard of our row house in DC is teeny tiny and up until recently not in very good shape as you can see by the photo above. Further damage was done when our neighbor decided to chop down his huge pine tree, some of which landed on our fence, along with the other neighbor's cable TV wire. So we had the fence replaced, along with the deck, and the bricks relaid (which were so wavy and uneven from the tree roots that you could barely walk on them).
Below are photos of the result. One side of the fence is our other neighbor's (the dark fence in the second photo below) and we think they are going to have their fence replaced too. It is currently being held up by a rope tied to our crepe myrtle. You will also notice the cactus is blooming like crazy and we added a small flowerbed.
Update: One of the blooms open wide at night.

Nice work on the backyard! Makes me miss having one.
Hey...congrats on the new space....it looks great.
Oh hey - that's great!
Pete and I are that sort of gardner who thinks 'tomorrow I'll . . .' and then (hopefully) it rains!
We had to renew most of the fence on one side of our garden and managed to share the cost with the neighbours - but then they had a painting fest with friends on their side of it so we've got dribbles running down our side and a fine spray of fence paint on the side of the house too! It looks lovely.
But you look to have done an ace job. Well done!
Wow, that is a small back yard, but it looks great.
