Previous owners put sand in this area to house their above ground pool. This will be the home of our future patio, fire pit area!
Schumm Concrete, located in Lakeville came out early Monday morning and prepped the area. Both Makayla and Allie gave me a play-by-play from Allie's bedroom window, such an exciting day.
Early Tuesday morning they came back to pour cement. It took them 2 wheel barrows and all 5 guys. They also fixed our deck stairs as the previous owners didn't have them level and it was a bit of a bigger step on the last step. They were able to pour the concrete right up to the last step to make it a "normal" step down.
Wednesday one guy came out in the morning to pressure wash the patio. They will be out tomorrow morning to pressure wash again and then seal the patio.
Almost finished patio! After the sealing of the concrete I will be planting flowers around the edge. Not sure at this point if they will be directly in the ground or in planters around the edge.
Already enjoyed a few nights out on the patio, having a beer and watching the little leaguers play baseball (as you can see them playing behind the girls). Towards fall we will be purchasing a fire pit through Patio Town.
Another project, as you can see the fence behind the girls. There were three dead bushes with beautiful irises planted in between. We took out the bushes, will be rehoming the irises and next spring will be planting that whole space with rhubarb.
