Patio Update

We have been busy around the house working on finishing up projects. Sometimes we go full steam into one and get burned out and it ends up taking a lot longer than we first imagined. In the case of our patio we were letting the grass take root before we gave it a trimming. We finally borrowed a weed eater from my parents to tame our patio. In the month since we laid the stones the grass has grown like crazy.
BEFORE:

Hagin started out the trimming, but shortly gave up and I took over.

I didn’t end up getting as close a cut as I would have liked and a blower would definitely improve the look. But thankfully it is looking a little more like a patio now.
AFTER:


Looking a little better, but still not what I initially imagined. I did some research and saw that I should have planted Irish moss. The rye grass we planted is an annual so once it dies I think we will wise up and plant Irish moss. It should be virtually no maintenance and a lesson to do some research before diving into such a big project.
