I've been a busy bee on the house lately now that spring is here. A few months ago the sewer pipe clogged up so bad that the sewer company had to dig up my pipe, bend it straight, reinforce it, and cover it all back up. Of course, it got covered with bare dirt. Aurora didn't like that (no bare dirt in front lawns). Ridiculous law since they won't let us water our lawns, and the city made me dig up the sewer pipe ($8000 I feel the city owes me!). So, I left it bare for awhile, daring them to give me a ticket. Then last month I felt the need to do yard work, in a blizzard, just because it was April, and snowing...
So, this is the photo log of the flagstone Walkway, from the street to kinda near my front door. Mind you, I have a sloping yard. Laying flagstone to be even on uneven ground is pretty tricky, but I did it!
Digging in the edging.
Laying the flagstone (the same stuff I'll use on the patio).
Flagstone and edging dug in and level steps (well, one more edging to go, but it is in).
Putting in the rubber mulch (it's been through two heavy wind/sand storms and two blizzards, and still hasn't blown away).
Rubber mulch looks like the real thing! Also, lined the last couple feet at the street with small boulders that were laying around in the side yard.
Finished! Looking from street to house. Big red boulder on left side is now sitting next to new patio (next blog).
Until next time,
