Before:
Mark's sketch.
Cement flagstones.
The blue flags mark the area where the patio will be...with the exception of the two out by the gravel which delineate the width of the path.
Mark's string system in place to make sure we're keeping the backfill dirt level...and, of course, Trux - supervising.
Gettin' there!
The homemade, weighted roller thing...
sadly, the garden tractor isn't working.

Such a nasty tease to scroll through the pictures only to discover the project isn't finished yet! Baaaahhhh!
Keep rollin' Mark, I want to seeee!
Love your choice of flagstones! My mom (she's 83) recently put in (by herself) flagstone in her backyard and has baby tears growing up through the spaces between them - looks great. The curves in your design are terrific!
I can see it now--it's going to be GREAT!
That looks like a whole lot of hard work, but I'm sure it will be worth it, you have made a big difference already
: )
I'm working on making a patio area out of part of my lawn right now. Just an area to be able to sit in the sun with either a raised fire pit or one of those portable ones.
Where did you find those most awesome cement flagstones?
Lookin' good!!
I searched for those flagstones and they're not available at our local Lowes. Drat!
I hope everything works out well! I am soon going to renovate my backyard with a cement patio, and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
I love me a good yard makeover. Can't wait to see the final project. And how cool is that big roller?
How's it coming along? We haven't even addressed our outside yard yet, but we also want to do a flagstone patio so I am eager to see how yours turns out! Best . . . Stephenie
Haven't had a chance to work on it since that day. Mark has 10 days off over the Fourth. We'll attack it again then.
