OK OK I know I've been posting alot tonight... I'm clearing out the camera for our trip starting tomorrow. I'm sitting here in the dark while the kids are sleeping (yes sleeping!) in the hotel room. We get up at 4am so we can be on time getting to the airport accross the street (we are at the Hilton right near the airport with a gorgeous view of the water)...
So back to the post... I wanted to show you our new backyard!!! Next time you come down you'll have to see it in person :)
We hired a neighbor from down the street to do the work, got the stone from RCP. We went with Classic Oak flagstone which I think turned out gorgeous. We wanted it to have a natural feel to it, so we kept the larger pieces of flag and filled the joints with crushed quartz (I think we might add more crushed quartz after we seal it). I think it looks amazing. Most of the pics were taken from the deck off of our master bedroom as that was the only place I could get all of the area at once.
It was interesting to watch the progression, with first the sand, then the leveling of the sand, then all the pieces being fit together, leveling (3 full days of leveling after the pieces were all in place), then the jointing. It was quite a process. Each piece weighed around 250 pounds I think Chris said (Chris if I'm wrong correct me :) )
Enjoy!
