Patio

We have grand plans for our yard.  Unfortunately, that means lots of hard work and a lot of hard-earned money.  We finally got our start this last week when we installed our small paver patio in the front along with a two foot swath down the side of the driveway.    I have always loved working alongside Michael. We make a good team.  It was also neat to see his expertise with landscape install.  He really is a professional.

First we put down about six inches of road base and compacted it, then a scrutinizing leveling, then the edging, and a perfect 1 1/4 inch layer of sand.  Next is the pavers, then the fill sand, and finally the sealer.  I haven't taken a picture with the sealant, and it is so pretty and dark.  Anyway, it turned out beautiful.  Now we just need  plants and grass, and it will start looking like a yard!  Yeah!

My honey.  I love how hard he works and how much pride he takes in his work.  A good guy.
