Well the weekend arrived and we have been hard at work getting our new patio installed. Perhaps the hardest part about laying a paver brick patio is getting your base laid out properly. If the base isn’t level then your patio will look like shit.
Jim, Deb and John came over to help out today and I probably wouldn’t have been able to get the base put in properly if they hadn’t helped out.
f we took a tiller to the soil and loosened it up then squared off the area with mason twine and then leveled it out by hand. Then we put down some landscape fabric, followed by crushed granite, then some paver sand.
I managed to get nine tiles placed and locked in and its surprisingly square for the time being. Hopefully I can repeat the trend tomorrow and get the remaining 151 put in place. The new patio is going to be 16X10. Once that is complete we are going to put in some new rock and sod, and hopefully I can get some flower beds made. The deck was a big selling point in us purchasing this house so we are going to have to put in a lot of work to make the backyard more presentable for potential buyers when we ever decide to sell.
Kelly took some pics of he whole ordeal today so I have attached a few here. Hopefully tomorrow I have it complete and I can post some more.
Time for a shower now.. I stink.
