Next step in the creation of the Patio

Here is the hole we dug in preparation for the sub layers. We then put down 3 inches of gravel and compacted it. Next went 1 to 1 1/2 inches of sand which we leveled.


This is where all of the dirt, sod and concrete went.


One back hoe and dump truck and three loads later, plus some cleanup.


Then the pavers show up.


The RV pad is as close as we could get to the back yard.


Our little army of workers. Look at them work! It seems we moved a little too much soil and had to haul a little back down.


The next step is to move the pavers down to where we need them.


Cory is checking to see which side of the paver looks best.....


He then handed them to Nate with the good side up.


Nate laid them down in a modified herringbone pattern.


I cut the cut the pavers to fit in the edges.


I then laid them in place.




This is as far as we got Memorial Day weekend. It seems that I didn't order enough gravel and sand. We were able to finish most of the south side of the patio. Cory and little Tyler then helped me over the next week with more gravel and sand to prepare the base for the pavers.


Oh Here is our little "tographer's" just like Amy.
This one is Allie.


Here's Makayla she took a lot of the pictures of us working on the patio. Thanks Makayla
