Getting the front and back yards ready. 11-22-14 Phase 1 was the front yard.

First phase-front patio.
Yuk.

The front before all the clean-up and that HUGE pine tree taken out (it's to the left). 

These three pics above are a general view of the front of the house.

In the front by the front door and kitchen window are the two kids cleaning up the area-taking out plants. The red brick pavers that are there are ones I laid down. They sucked, but it was a stop-gap.

After they took out the plants, I turned on the mist system, shown below. 

Starting to level the area.

First set of pavers down onto the two bases.

One part of the patio set up.

After adding add'l pavers, putting sand down and filling in the cracks.

Beginning to lay down the area for a border.

Laying the border.

The finished product.
Terry Parise and his friend John did it all. Barry was so surprised and happy! We've had a lot of good times on that front patio.

   

These last two pics are the setup for Halloween 2014.

This is who did our work.
