This is one of the larger patios we did this fall, Unilock product very easy to work with and makes for a great patio surface.

Nice work! How did you secure the border to keep it from migrating? I'm always working on sand the borders are a continual problem here.

Very nice work. Good work on the step unit too.

We use a plastic edging called Brik-Edge. It is a fleible hard plastic material that you drive stakes down into the ground. and it holds the edging tight then you put the dirt up to the edge of the patio. This coveres the actuall edging and leaves you only with 1/8'' black bead around the corner. Very Professional looking, and pretty inexpensive. If you buy the right stuff, it holds up as well.

Very nice looking good work. That is something I have never tried but I dont think I would be very good at it. I am not much good with anything but wood.

What did you do just put 1 inch of sand over the concrete patio ?

Very nice!

It looks like the HO has the cadillac of patios, but the Kia of pools. Tell them to go inground and you could do a nice surround for them.

Yes we put 1 inch of mason sand on the concrete areas. The funny thing about their pool is.. that was done in the fall.. and their pool wasnt even open.. they opened the pool for like 2 weeks in the fall, and then closed it. That is going to be next years project, a deck around the pool there with a brick walk going to it with some nice walls and stuff to make beds, also in the circular portion of the patio we already wired electric to it and there will be some sort of water and light feature there as well. They definently spent some money on there back yard. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I hope you used concrete sand, not mason sand: Huge difference!
If you and your company are have not taken the ICPI basic contractor
certification course, I would strongly recommned it.

March of 2006 in Wadsworth, Ohio sponsered in part by Belgard.

Worth every penny.

Patio looks great, and I like the 45,s on the corners of the steps.

Peace,

Whats the difference between concrete sand and mason sand, i have never heard of concrete sand around here. We have Polymeric sand which hardens when it gets wet, but have never heard of such a thing as concrete sand. Please let me know always interested in new stuff. Thanks

Yes its awesome. I like unilock its big here in Northern Illinois. Also i like the house. I believe that is cedar on it and the color is a excellent choice. Is that Cedar siding on that house? Here in illinois you see cedar on homes painted that color meaing the dark rich colors it is sharp. I like the subtle blue in the stone that was a outstanding stone color selection. Can i asked how much you charged for that job. I'm assuming between 5 and 10,000 dollars. Probably i would guess in the middle.

Maon sand can have 0-10% fines. Fines are defined as material passing the #200 seive. Fines hold mositure, which is not good for a paver setting bed. You want the bedding sand to be free draining, like clear stone behind a retaining wall. Concrete sand has 0-1% fines.

Try Kurtz Brothers for concrete sand or most other paver vendors.

Peace,

It is fake cedar on the house, some sort of new thing they go out.. still pretty nice.. As far as the job goes.. that was just over $14,000.00 like 14,2 maybe without tax. That stone was semi expensive and the steps were expensive as well so that added some cost. We did some underground wiring as well so that added to it too. Thanks for the help ReX

Wow i didn't realize unilock was so expensive. I was thinking about replacing my concrete patio in the back yard with unilock. I was think maybe a couple thousand now i'm thinking Five thousand if that cost 14,2.

NasConst_land

Well that block was more expensive then a standard unilock paver, I believe it was 5.29 a sq foot for the material maybe alittle less, but you can get a standard unilock paver for like.. 2.49 prolly a sq foot.

Looks Great.
