flagstone in the backyard

The hubs (aka general contractor) got a welcomed two week break in between jobs and he hit the honey do list like a man on a mission!

Love him for that!

First order of business was the flagstone in our backyard. About 5 years ago we put in several palates of flagstone in with tiny pea gravel in between the cracks (not a good idea especially for little ones) and it has been a thorn in our side ever since.

The rocks(pea gravel) come out of the cracks and then sit on top of the flag stone and it hurts to walk on them. Not to mention the dog who has a minor case of spazitis (hyper) runs on them and even more rocks fly on top of the flagstone. Oh... and the lovely weeds that come up between the rocks are ugly and who has time to pull weeds with a 4 year old and a 1.5 year old. It is like playing hopscotch on every two inches but you land on rocks and not the lines..you know what I'm say'in.

Anyways..here it is before! Notice the face on my child? Oh and pay no attention to my Shi**y photography skills. Rocks and weeds all over the place. Jagged edges, rocks, rocks and rocks..yuk!!

And now for after...Ahh. So thankful for contractor husband!
