Dave and I embarked upon improving our backyard some time ago. It is amazing how quickly it can come together with a little persistence. Our inspiration: delivery of 15 tons of sand and gravel on Friday.
This is what 15 tons looks like, if you don't already know:
Dave did all the digging and heavy lifting. I took pictures. Oh, and squared up the pavers.
Done! Patio I:
I think Dave was looking for his keys...
Patio II was finished last night (before & after):
What's left: digging out, bordering and lining and finishing a breeze walkway. Also on the agenda: addition of ground cover around patio II, garden and hopefully a gazebo-like structure over patio II. More pictures to come!

Nice job! That is HARD work, we put one in at our last house. When I started reading this post, I was thinking P was writing about D, and I was SOOOOOOOOOO impressed with D for all that digging! lmao!
I am most impressed. It looks lovely, and I'm sure it's very satisfying to do it yourself. Also, as a NY'er, I am obligated to say how jealous I am that you have a backyard. Use it well, you blessed children!
Looks great! Can't wait to see the plantings.
