The patio is finally uncovered! It was backbreaking work, dirty, muddy, and extremely HOT. In the end the grass filled around 16-17 bags. We transferred all the extra dirt to the front under the bushes. (We did it in the dark so our neighbors wouldn't see us and think we're crazy.)
Check it out peeps! The brick is in mostly good shape and the patio is huge! The next phase will include installing a large sail shade and maybe some plants, if I can get them to survive this weather. I am so thrilled to have a place to grow things.
The only area that needs a real help is along this edge. We'll work on it.........later.
And to help us break it in, we had a BBQ. I love it when the patio is covered with family instead of grass.
It looks fantastic. I knew it would.
