Landscaping…Day 37

Jay and his landscaping crew spent the day pushing pavers further down the hill toward Cottage Lane. The first photo shows the driveway from a spot near the bottom of the hill in the front yard. From this vantage point we can see new driveway disappearing over the top of the hill as it extends to the breezeway deck and beyond. The pile of sand visible on the driveway marks the transition between newly set pavers toward the bottom and the finished (filled and vibrated) surface above.

The next photo shows the driveway extending toward the street from the sand piles marking the transition. Here the paver surface curves sharply to the right before straightening out as it intersects Cottage Lane. The last section of unfinished driveway is about twice the length of the Caterpillar loader parked in the distance. Jay and his crew  have at least a few days of cutting ahead of them as they work to complete the paver edging through this section.

The third photo shows the completed paver driveway on the East side of the house. The beginnings of the walkway leading to the front porch is just visible at the far side of the paver surface.

The last photo shows a close up of the white accent edging detail curving toward the front porch as the driveway pavers transitions into a front entry walkway. This 6’ walkway surface will “meander” slightly as it continues to the stairs and include one 4” step near the half way point.
