Oops! Forgot to turn this one the right way. Scott is standing by my almost finished patio/firepit.
We loved the idea of a raised step to the patio. We'd seen it in brochures and been to Scott's cousin's house where they had done it. The block had to be sturdy enough to hold in all the soil and sand, so Scott laid the block in concrete and then mortared the pavers on top.
My garden is raised so I can sit on the edge and weed or harvest when needed. It also adds a nice feature to the rest of the yard. You have no idea how many wheel barrow full's of soil we had to bring in for the garden and the patio. Scott said he lost about 8 lbs working on this project!
Are you guys helping or playing around?
It used to be flat dirt with a trampoline in the middle of it. We dug our sprinkler trenches and added pipes for a garden and fruit trees with a few plants scattered here and there. That was the dream...we'd been designing it for a year, waiting for the funds to be available.
