In the final week we see another brick element being constructed. Again out of the same brick paver a set of steps gives us access from the covered back porch directly into the garden. This provides both a functional and asthetic element to the garden. Speaking of access features you will also notice the installation of natural stepping stones that allow circulation from the front to back garden.

Here the brick paving for the patio is being completed. Sand is swept in between each brick to fill in the gaps. Also this week the sod has been laid and rolled to ensure a smooth lawn.

This week the garden takes shape by adding some of the hardscape elements. The beds are edged with a brick paver standing up right. In order to help tie this garden together this same brick is being used to construct the new patio.
