Jay and his guys have been working all morning installing the driveway, paver patio, and landscape edging. I stopped in around 1 pm to take a few photos and answer a couple of questions. The first photo shows the driveway at the street with crushed limestone installed and compacted all the way to the top.
The video below captures the delivery of a load of limestone. The first half shows 20 tons of crushed limestone being dumped on the driveway…in the second half Jay spreads it around with his Bobcat.
The next two photos show still shots of the delivery and spreading operations. The asphalt driveway will sit on an 8” base of crushed limestone with a fabric base underneath. Each truck delivers 20 tons of stone. Jay figures we will need 220 tons of base material.
The photo here shows a panoramic view of the garage from the far back corner of the driveway. Here we can see the fabric underlayment spread out on the compacted soil base before the limestone in installed. Jay is in the Bobcat in the distance spreading limestone by the breezeway deck. They hope to have all the limestone installed and rolled before they leave this evening.
The next photo shows the paver patio outside the back breezeway deck. Jay and his crew have been cutting and fitting pavers to the curved edge of the patio in between the loads of limestone out front. The soldier course of pavers is installed most of the way around the perimeter of the patio and dog run leaving only the front edge to be completed.
The last two photos show Jay’s crew preparing to install landscape edging along what will become the line between the low-mow turf and the mulch at the front edge of the forest. These guys run the trenching machine along the imaginary divide and then double back installing plastic edging.
