Looking very good Kyle. I might do something similar.

i like looking at other peoples hard work!!! looks good from my house!

Spray the tamp with cooking spray

The ....

That actually sounds like it would work. I went and rented the vibrating compactor. Was a pain in the [censored] to work with and almost as slow as the hand tamper maybe it was me but it was slow as hell.

I had that crap when they first landscaped the yard. Rain washes it away easily. Hope you have better luck with it than I did.

Really nice to look at when it's all in place though.

Mixing in a little cement cuts down on the erosion.

Looks good. Just need a pit and some Adirondack Chairs. (Red).

Thanks, pit is going back in this evening and since this weekend is Halloween, I probably won't have enough time, but will be building 4 Adirondack chairs and some matching tables. Although red is my favorite color, will probably do a stain for a more natural color something close to the fence/deck stain. Haven't fully decided yet.

Or I might burn them and do a semi transparent stain over the top. I've done it several times and has a really cool effect.

Made some signs for my wife and mother in law last year with that same technique and I really liked how the red popped on top of the black.

The green really isn’t bad either.

This^^^^

My decomposed granite is around flagstone. I walk on flagstone not the granite. I was unaware it scratched floors.

Got the ole rustic dry stack fire pit back up.

Now I need some chairs…

Looks great, and the best part is less grass to mow and water. Have you thought about putting down flagstone or pavers?

Thanks possibly in the future for the flag stone, but not at the moment. Just want to enjoy it for a bit before I change it lol. We have so much shade in the back yard no grass really grows anyway besides in my garden area. This just make it much easier to deal with and looks way better than patchy grass.

Got the chairs all built today. Even made a little small one for my 3 year old specially for him. Now tomorrow I have a LOT of finishing work to do.

Very nice.

Looks awesome. Did you move it???

Looks great Kyle!

Thanks fellas!!

Did I move what?

I thought it incorporated the tree before.

Oh yea it still does that was just a pic that I snapped off the deck when I was done.

Once I get them all sanded, burned, stained, and cleared tomorrow I’ll get some more pictures. Still need to get my River rocks for around the tree. Probably going to put some succulents in there as well.

Looks really sturdy but I'd round the corners people will think you later for it.

Router will be over every inch tomorrow. Already planned on that just sitting in them a little they’re definitely “sharp”.

Well after a whole morning of sanding, God I hate sanding, finally getting to the staining part. Burning them was fun as always. Oh and installing the beverage holders, can’t forget those lol.

The red with the subtle black coming through makes it pop. Really like the results so far.
