Finished Patio...

A few weeks ago, we finished our patio...right in time for the nice weather. We have really enjoyed it!


The original patio is the curved area where Moose is laying down. There are steps that come down to the lower fire pit area. I will plant flowers and such in the mulch area...that's a lot of flowers.

Here's a shot from the steps...you can go to the fire pit or...


take the path down to the bridge and into the woods. I opt for the fire pit each time!


The fire pit area...perfect size to fit 6 or more adults around and room for kids to still run behind us! The wall is great for the kiddos to sit on...need to get some new patio furniture!


To the left of the fire pit is an open area...we would like to put a small low table there with a few chairs. That will have to wait until next spring! You can also go to the "upper" level by another set of steps on the left.



The left steps lead to a path and then to the original patio.



We also built a small retaining wall up by the house which will also need foliage in the spring.



A picture looking back on the path towards the fire pit.




It's been a great area to hang our this fall.  Can't wait until next spring to enjoy the area even more!
