We had a fun client a few weeks ago that chronicled his patio construction on Facebook. He called it the “Carville Landscape Big Dig!” I thought it would be a good opportunity to use the pictures to show future clients and do-it-yourselfers what to expect with the construction of a patio.
The Project: A raised patio with corner fire pit and retaining walls.
Day 1 – Let the digging begin!
Digging out the retaining wall footings.
Day 2 – Building the retaining walls.
Day 3 – Inserting drain pipes, compacting the stone base.
Day 4 – Ready for the sand and the brick!
Day 5 – With the patio down, now it is time for some finishing touches: the polymeric sand, decorative wall and wall caps. Here is the finished project!
We are ready for the marshmallows!
I recently saw this interesting newspaper article that talked about the most important ways gardening has varied in the past 25 years. the general consensus seems to be pesticide free and 12-month gardens are the most important changes. I wonder if this consensus holds true for most of us gardeners.
