This Year's Project...

We've more or less completed the landscaping in the front yard, although we have some rogue hostas that need to get 'split' next spring. We've had in in the plans to complete some sort of patio in the back yard to give us more space to eat outside, and keep the sand in the backyard where is belongs. After gathering some quotes we decided to work with Giordano Construction to complete our backyard patio in a combination of exposed aggregate and stamped concrete.



Our before pic....patio stones...random grass, satisfactory, but nothing to get excited about.















And here's what it looks like today!!!







We now have about a 950 sq. foot dirt pit that is just waiting for a bunch of concrete. Some concrete is going to get poured tomorrow (Tuesday) and the rest of the cribbing for the stamped concrete border should get put in place!

Stay Tuned for the next update...

I love it! so much more space and I think the brown colour is awesome. Oh, wait, did I read that you were adding something into that hole?
(Hahahah - I'm such a comedian)
I'll stay tuned...
