About a month ago we completed the paver patio project in the backyard. It was the last major thing we had to do to complete our little backyard renovation this year. Rich and I spent July fourth weekend putting it in, just the two of us! It was a lot of work and took 2 full days, but the we managed to pull it off and we were enjoying it by that Sunday afternoon! All of the material was delivered beforehand (pavers, sand, and stone dust) and we rented a tamping machine from Home Depot which was super cool to work with.
My main job was to hand Rich the pavers -yay for my arms, what a workout!- and he laid them in the pattern we chose. One of my favorite parts is the river rock boarder we put in around the perimeter where the fence is. It was one of those things that Rich had the vision, and I didn't get it, but once it was done I loved it!
We're in the home stretch over here with the backyard! Like I said before there are still a few loose ends to tie up, but completing the patio was the last big project! It's been a lonnnngggg summer getting the yard up to par, but finishing this part made it feel super worth it and I can see the light at the end....finally!
