Front Walkway (September - October, 2005)
Installing a new concrete paver front walk for the Decatur house.
Before: the old front walkway (after new stairs and AC unit moved)
Starting to excavate
"Stumped!"
Stump removed, all excavated, temporary "form" boards staked in
Ernie's lost weight from all that digging!
After a few inches of crushed rock compacted with the plate compactor
The plate compactor sure helped!
Crushed rock all compacted
Granite sand screeded; starting to lay the pavers
Pavers all down, plastic edging installed, and sand worked into the cracks
Done! (looking from the porch)
Done! (looking from the driveway)
Stepping stones added, starting landscaping--setting edging blocks
Pea gravel added; all done!
