This Spring we were back to the pool demo job to do a 1,300 SF Bluestone imitation paver deck around the spa we saved. Replumbed the spa, piped all of the downspouts to a new infiltration system, installed electrical conduit for low voltage lighting, put new coping on the spa, prepped for and installed the new patio, new handrail on the spa (not pictured), loam, rake, seed and fertilizer. Came out pretty good.
First picture piping downspouts to where the new infiltration system will be. Second, patio laid out, cut to sub base, compacted and ready for gravel. (Spa is under the plywood). Third 3/4" gravel base in, finish graded, compacted, ready for stone dust and pavers. Fourth new coping on, me on the T590 shuffling pallets, and our 4 guy crew laid 1,250 SF of pavers ranging in size from 10"x20" to 30"x30" in one 6 hour Saturday. Fifth spreading and raking 60 yards of loam, putting this one to bed.
