Finishing Touches On A HUGE Backyard Transformation!

What happens here

Prepare the patio base by leveling and compacting gravel. Lay a paver grid system, defining different sections and patterns. Install large format 'Granite City' pavers and 'Old Vienna' mosaic pavers according to the design. Utilize paver edgers to create clean borders between different paver types and to contain the gravel. The pattern includes a 'double Raven Old Vienna' line and specific layouts for a fire pit area, creating visual interest and functionality. Dry-lay the pavers first to ensure the pattern and cuts are correct before permanent installation.

Goal: Install a decorative and functional paver patio with a custom design.

What they say

[Music] We got all this torn out. We had We had all hands on deck, all six of us working as a team in unison. You know, one one band, one sound. Demoing all these pavers. So, we got them in the dumpster really quick, but uh now we relay it, and um let me show you what we're going with here. So, it's hard to talk cuz these are these are very wet, but um these two are the same color. Granite City. Uh classic combo. Kind of can't go wrong with it. Very neutral gray, two medium gray tones mixed together. Uh I love it. Like I said, that's what we do around here. We're premier. We're not just regular Hope you like it. Outdoor living. We're premier. So, uh they're going to love it, and that's what we do around here. So, we are uh starting here. And we've already got this pattern laid, so in these four corners, we're going to start at these inside corners and work our way out. As we get over here, you'll see we're going to do figured, you know, let's add something since we're redoing it. Uh we're going to we're going to add this detail over there. So, we'll show you how we do that, but um for now, we're going to lay pavers. Paver guy. [Music] [Applause] So, we've got our grid kind of marked out here. We extended this line. We're going to go all the way down here, and we're going to mimic the detail we did over there in this side of the patio. So, what we got is kind of this grid. We're going to have the the double Raven uh O Viana run through this way, and it'll kind of look like this part of the inlay goes underneath and picks up over here. So, now we've got the grid laid out, we can get all of our border in, and then just fill in with mosaics. So, got the pallets over there uh ready to go. Really, it's just going to be run and gun. Lay this in. We'll have a bunch of cuts around the perimeter again, but uh see what we got. Somehow we're going to be short on pavers. I don't know how. We had three pallets before. Each one is like 127 square feet. Did the whole thing. No problems. Had enough to finish. Now we're replacing over 150 square feet with our inlay, so I got two pallets, and somehow we're short. So, I don't know what happened, but uh we're going to need just a couple more layers, really. We're really close uh on this Alpine Contemporary, but uh it's coming together. The rebuild.
