This area is between a driveway and a neighbors paver area. It used to be grass that never did well because it was not covered by a sprinkler system and it is a southern exposure that gets hot and dry.
|
As you can see the pavers are bordered by 2 x 4 pressure treated lumber that are anchored in the ground with rebar. The water meter area was an odd shape and a paver saw was used to cut the detailed pieces.
|
This small paver area was designed to provide an area to stand on when managing the garden hose. It is bordered by 2 x 4 pressure treated lumber that is anchored in the ground with 1/2 inch rebar.
|
This is the entry to a paver path that allows access to the side and back yard. It was challenging to transition from grass to walkway on a slope. A ramp was constructed of walking gravel that compacted nicely and does not move around.
|
There is a slight slope from the house on the right to the left. A small retaining wall was built on the right to maintain soil for flower beds/garden. Another retaining wall was built on the left so the pavers would not shift to the left.
|
As you can see, a compound angle was created to allow access to the garden shed.

Another angle of the compound angle corner and a view of the retaining wall on the left.

This view shows the retaining wall close to the home that creates a flower bed/garden area.
|
This shows the full purpose of the walkway. It created a terrace effect for a flower bed/garden on the left and a larger garden plot on the right with access to the side/back yard and garden shed.
