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.

Pea gravel?

    The "gravel" around the firepit and pathways is Opalite Crushed Stone. The pieces are slightly larger in size than pea gravel so that it is not picked up and carried when it is walked on.

    No, it is actually very easy to walk on. Thank you for your compliment!

    I love the look! What type of base did you put under the Opalite Crushed Stone? Maintenance issues?
