The New Patio

I am so excited! We have finally made an adult change to back yard. Yes the kids will enjoy it too, but really it's for Ben and I. I can hardly wait to finish it out but that will most likely be next year. For now, I have a brand new patio to put chairs on that won't fall off because of the slope, and I won't have any grass growing out from in between the bricks.

Here is what our "patio" use to look like:




The bricks all gone, yeah, that was the best part. It looked so much better without them there. The forms are going in along with the plastic and sand.




Now we have the wire mesh down and then it will be time to pour.



They had to mix it the color in so that it would be uniform. And then the pouring can begin.



I am so excited, now it's time to pour.


They can stamp out the pattern then wait for it to harden, and seal the patio.



All done, doesn't it look just great. The kids are already loving it and having a great time.



Now I just need to come back with some fill dirt and bring the grass back up to the edge of the patio.

I can hardly wait to have our first dinner outside later on this summer. It will be great.
