Patio

Since my Pergola is finished and the wood has seasoned for at least a year, I thought it was time to add an extension onto the patio so that I could get my grill off of the main sitting part. I added a 11.5' x 6.5' paver area off to the west of the main patio. This was made with 12" x 12" plain concrete pavers from Lowe's and 6" x 6" autumn blend pavers for the edging from Menards.

It was an easy project to do. I added landscape fabric for weed control and a 2" layer of sand before laying the pavers on top. I had to make two cuts around the post closest to the house. These cuts were made with a 4.5" angle grinder and a diamond blade ($10 from menards), and was really simple to do.

As you notice the pergola was also stained a solid black during the process. I used Cabot's solid color stain and I would recommend it to anyone that will listen.
