Paver job



Although we intended to do the paver job in our front yard ourselves we got an estimate from a paver company called Genesis Stoneworks just for the heck of it. After some negotiating we got such a good deal that we decided to have them do it. We were having trouble finding the right color of paver. Our house is blue gray with a charcoal roof. Most houses are earthtone colors around here so the paver manufacturers offer most earthtone colors. We found a charcoal grey color we liked at a building supply store from a picture so we ordered just one pallet and when it arrived the color looked almost like plain concrete color so they sent it back. With Genesis Stoneworks, http://www.genesisstoneworks.com/home/ - we found just the right color. They will start next Wednesday it will take 2 or 3 days. If we did it ourselves it might take who knows how long. We did a lot of research on installation and feel confident we could do it but a lot of it would be trial and error and we would have to rent a paver cutter at 56$ a day. There will be a lot of cuts because it is a curving walkway. It is going to look nice. Here are more pictures of the demo.

Ah hah, there's the jackhammer!

Charcoal will look very nice. Can't wait to see it finished. Let's see some veggie garden pics too.
