It includes a custom deck around a resistance pool and an arbor with a fireplace that anchors one end of the yard. Pavers and stone laid in sod tie the two areas together.
Maintenance is easy: The zoysia sod is laid flush with stones so the mower goes right on top. And because zoysia is slow growing the stones only have to be edged a few times per year.
Very nice design and overall execution. It appears that it will only look better as the plants grow and mature. Glad to see what looks like proper spacing at installation, giving everything space to grow. Wonderful job!
It is under the patio furniture, you take the furniture off and press a button and the patio sinks into the ground and it fills with water. Way cool idea, I looked it up online. they are however very expensive.
I would have put tinted sky lights in the roof of the shelter to bring natural light in but not harsh sun. Looks too dark there. Still overall very breath taking.
Nancy, it works best if you install the pavers and flagstone first and then grade the dirt so it's 1" lower all around. Then just lay the sod around it like a jig saw puzzle and cut to fit.
But you DO dig out the existing grass first??? Lay the flagstone next??? and then grade the dirt individually under each stone to 1" lower??? and then fill the pieces of sod in between the stones??? So sorry, I am not quite getting it. I cannot visualize laying stones on the top of grass and then grading the dirt - what dirt??? I am confused King.
Oh yeah! It looks like a bomb went off before we start laying pavers. Here are the steps.
1. Design a plan, obviously. Make sure to note grade changes allow for at 1.5% slope for drainage.
2. Remove existing debris such as grass, old walkways, stumps, etc.
3. Rough grade to get entire area fairly level

4. Install compacted gravel base for pavers-4 to 6" and sand base for stone-1 to 2". I don't like to set my stones on concrete pad because if you ever want to move them the concrete makes it difficult.
5. Lay pavers, set stones.
6. Back fill around pavers and stones with top soil. Rake level but keep top of soil 1" below pavers/stones.
Thank you King Landscaping Contractor. These instructions sound more realistic. I will have to hire the work done but it will be done exactly to these instructions.

Now you can move right over the stones.
