What happens here
The video points out an area adjacent to the driveway, currently covered in gravel, stating that "bluestone...is going to be going in here to tie in how we did the bluestone in the courtyard over there." This step involves preparing the sub-base in the designated area by excavating to the correct depth and laying a compacted aggregate layer. Then, bluestone pavers are carefully placed and leveled to create a walkway or accent area that visually connects and complements the existing bluestone features on the property, enhancing the overall landscape design.
Goal: Create a complementary bluestone feature that integrates with existing landscape design.
