Stone patio

[fruitcakesa]

Well the "Let's build it with stone" bug has bitten my wife.
She went and dug up some of the old stone patio stones that we rarely if ever used and relocated them to the other side of the patio where they now are becoming the new patio. Pics explain.

You have an innovative wife and that will look nice.

Hardscaping is pretty popular right now especially as more people are staying home and want to create nice places to hang out and enjoy life.
I built this up in NH a few years ago.

Clean precise work

Fruitcakesa -Nice work for sure.

Below are some pics from the walkway I did at my old house. Stone was pulled from the old quarry directly behind my house. The old BX23 worked pretty hard in there. You can just barely see it parked in the shade at the end of the walkway.

After laying, I used polymeric sand to fill the joints. The sand that I used (I think it was gator sand) is capable of flexing with joints up to an inch or so. It worked quite well.

That is awesome dd.

Got the new patio stones laid, "grouted" and back filled. Now we wait for the new grass and to grow.

Very nice....did I say very nice.

That came out nice.

These "covid" driven projects are so satisfying.
No obligations to go out, just hang around the fort and putter at jobs that either were on the honey do list or just popped into my head

A stone patio needs some stone steps. Back from gathering more.
We will dig them in flush with the ground so I can mow over them

That's why I was in the M today. The AC makes it easy.
