pathway complete

The front yard is officially finished, for now. Next season we will be planting trees, flowers, bushes... all that good stuff. I am so happy with how the pathway turned out. Kyle did a great job on the herringbone design. Good thing he listened agreed with me!


 Brick, sand, and aggregate(fines) all ready to go.

 I forgot to take a picture of this before hand, but Kyle dug it down about 6 inches so we could lay down a good foundation for the brick. The black stuff is weed barrier, I did that. .... the easy part. :)
 First layer of sand! We rented a compactor and got the layers down nice and good!
 Love the herringbone pattern. We later changed out some of the blueish bricks, to red ones.. making it more uniform.
 Ugh!!! The curve, what a pain! Kyle did a great job cutting down the pieces to fit, just right! He used an angle grinder and successfully filled the house with dust :) whoops on me for leaving the front windows open.
 I gotta admit, it's pretty darn near perfect.
 We re-rented the compactor and after filling in the brick with more sand.. went over it a few more times. Those bricks ain't going NO WHERE!

 We decided on mulch for now.. not sure it will be there next season. It's already blowing away in the wind and fading a bit..
TA-DA!!!! Yard complete. Good job honey buns!
