WOW! Stinky, I thought it looked nice before, but the after pics are just stunning! Your new pathways are absolutely gorgeous! Enjoy those lovely new pavers -- I see that kitty already is! ;-D

Just gorgeous! Pavers are my favorite material and you have such a pretty yard.

DH and I did our own patio in the old house. It's the last DIY I'll ever do. We had to rent the machine that vibrates the bricks and sand. It must have weighed a ton and he made me help him lift it out (and back in) of his SUV. Then, it wouldn't start so we had to bring it back and get another one. Yeesh!

Beautiful! We have that same Ames hose reel ... 2 of 'em!

PB is telling me I need a password to see more than 1 pic.

Beautiful job, stinkyg!

Gorgeous! (but I had a hard time seeing the pavers and gardens past all those young, strong, tanned and sweaty young bods.. whew! I need a cool drink... or a shower)

GREAT project!!! Did you plan it all? Looks amazing!

And just love the results!!

although I do agree with funkyart's comments ...... LOL!

Wow, what a great project! I love the colors and the pattern you chose for the pavers. The blue mixed in is so pretty! Very nice work!

Oh my gosh stinky it looks gorgeous, but I have to admit that I walked into the kitchen after clicking the link and thought one of our cats was thrown up when the music started! LOL. It sounded just like one of the poor dears did this morning after a treat of canned food last night. LOL.
But really, what a wonderful transformation!

I meant one of our cats was "throwing" up not "thrown" up. No one home but me to throw anything. (blushing at my typo.)

Auntjen- Thank you so much! Yes, Jasmine does love hanging out by the pond!

Parma- Thanks! Sounds like you had quite a paver project too! Wow!

Natal- Isn't that hose reel great? It's really sturdy & cranks so nicely! So happy to hear from someone who can also get excited about a hose reel! Thanks for the compliment.

Ajsmama- I don't have a password! I just made the "remix" for fun to show the process.

Funkyart- Thank you kindly! Glad you appreciate my crew! They were just the nicest guys who worked so hard. The shirtless one is Reggie. He was so sweet! He brought me 9 more fish for my pond (from his boss) 2 weeks after they finished. The boss & all these boys are from Brazil...love their accents!

Teacats- Thank you darling. Will send Reggie over to help with your next project! Yes, I planned it out on paper & talked to them about the size & shape of the pond, patio & walkways. I emphasized that I wanted curves...no straight lines! I also wanted everything "framed" for a more finished look. They made my ideas come to life!

Alicia- I appreciate that! The bluish tone is called "charcoal." The other two colors are tan & chocolate. I almost did just the tan & chocolate, as the trim on my house is dark brown & my siding is cream. Then I decided that scheme might be too monochromatic & decided to throw in the charcoal. Glad you like it!

Justgotabme- OMG, that's so funny! Thanks for the compliment & I hope kitty's tummy is all better asap!

Great video!!! Great end result. Cool music, yes, I liked it. I make vacation videos, with music in the background. Thanks for posting!!!

Awm03, forgive me for leaving you out! Thanks so much. I love your style & so appreciate your positive (or negative!) feedback.

I thought your before pictures were nice but the afters were outstanding. I'm sure you are enjoying your beautiful yard.

Wow, your pavers are gorgeous!
Love the design and colors.
I want my yard to look like yours :) Can you please send those guys over? Well, I guess I would need a gardener and some time and money too. Maybe I'll just look at your pictures some more...
Nice job!
Jen

WOW !! I agree with everything...especially funky's comments on the Brazil Boys...do they travel?? You have a fabulous looking garden. I have never had any luck keeping things nice during construction. You are lucky that they all took such great care of your plantings. I am going back now to look again LOL. c

Your yard looks amazing. Those pavers add so much to your wonderful landscaping. Congrats!

I'm glad you got a kick out of comments. I was hoping not to offend you, but that's just what it sounded like at first. What song is that anyway?
Oh, so far it was just the one out of four kitties that didn't handle the canned food well. They usually eat dry, but I keep canned on hand incase I run out and can't get to the store right away.
