My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The image is not DG, but 1/4" minus crushed granite. It holds up great in the rain when installed properly. My forumla is: 4" - 5/8" mius, 2" - 1/4" minus crushed granite and top coat #1 Chewelah Cream. I buy the top coat locally in bags and sprinkle ontop. I hope this helps with your project. Good Luck!

    Do you have a supplier in the Seattle area that would have #1 chewelah cream and other decorative pebbles? Thanks.

    I'm also hoping for a Chewelah Cream supplier somewhere in Seattle. Any ideas? Beautiful work, by the way!
