Try Again

The paver crew was at it bright and early today and they brought a working concrete saw with them so they were able to finish up by early afternoon. The softscape crew was right behind them and they were able to finish grade the east side between the house and walkway along with the front yard. Another load of granite was delivered and they spread that in the front and the east side, after a little cleanup they were off to another job.

The job supervisor stopped to see the progress and to inform us that the formed curb around the dog grass area was going to be removed and the crew would redo that job. We had not talked to him about the curbing but he said that it turned out so badly that they didn’t want their company name associated with it. The picture we posted last night made it look much better than it was, the crew free handed it and the curve was very asymmetrical with the deepest portion of the grass offset way to the right of center. We were not going to argue his offer to remove it even though it will set the finish date back a day or two.

 

This slip form curb will be removed and they will try again. The pet grass was scheduled to be installed on Monday but this will delay that for a day or two or three…

 

No such problem with the paver crew, their work looks great. The walkway runs from the rear patio to the front.

 

The walkway and garbage can parking spot look great, they brought up the grade between the house and walkway and finished the drainage system for that area.

 

The walkway ties into the front patio.

 

They did a great job with the patio, and…

 

extending the paver theme down to the end of the driveway.

 

Pet Grass? Why do we need Pet Grass? I enjoy it when my limo takes me to the dog park three times each day!
