Back yard - part 2

This part we hired out to our neighbor Victor-e since we wanted to be sure it was done right, with drainage and the whole bit. Their crew worked quickly, in spite of puppy paws inspecting each evening. We chose a 2'x2' charcoal paver, which we thought would look good when wet (nine months of the year).


We thought the transition from patio to cobblestones (Victor's recommendation) to pavers worked well, and definitely like that we no longer have to step 'up' into the back yard.

Puppies don't seem to know what to do on the pavers. No more digging in the dirt. Time to invest in chew toys. 

We would like to get some Adirondack or lounge chairs for the new spot, but there doesn't seem to be much sense in buying furniture in September. 

In the meantime, the faded olive green chairs got some turquoise paint, and the vintage metal tables went from white to black. Puppies approve. L-to-R: Sparrow, Adam Levine, and Lulu.
