Fixing the Pool Patio, August 24, 2008

Last year we spent a lot of time maintaining the patio by the pool. Even after power washing and treating the weeds that grew in between the pavers, it seemed we were never able to make a dent. Then with Ella being born this summer, we basically left the patio to grow into a jungle. Whether they were just trying to help out, or they wanted to get away from all the crying, my family pitch in and overhauled the patio for us. It came out fantastic.

The before shot... pretty scary.

My Mom and Dad pulled up the pavers so that they could clean out all the weeds.

Here they are in action.

Once the weeds were cleared out, they could put the pavers back in place.

Looks pretty good, no?

The following week, Brett was up to visit with my parents and they tackled the second half of the patio.

This time, they decided to flip the pavers over when the put them back.

They look almost brand new.

This got us to thinking, and before you know it, we were pulling up the first half of the patio again.

It really came out looking great, though. Almost like new.

We also took a the time to level the patio out a little better.

The Finished Product.
