He coordinated the various projects and kept us updated.  Now,  we use our backyard everyday and it really is the most loved space to hangout for our family.  Everyone who sees our backyard is in awe of it.  Great work and would use them again.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What are the dimensions of this patio?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello, this patio is approximately 18' in width and 20' in length.

**Q: Back Yard In Progress** *(in Landscape Design)*

We have been working on our back yard the past few weeks.  Our lot is about 15,000 square feet and the back yard is pretty flat.  Our neighborhood is relatively new and so there are no mature trees (this was formerly agricultural land anyway, and there were no trees even before the developers came in).  
Last year, I put in raised beds for vegetables, but I am reworking them this fall. 
The first major improvement we have made is to have a new floating patio poured.  We had it stamped with a stone-like pattern and we acid-stained it this past weekend.  We did not pour the concrete ourselves, but we did do the staining.  At some point over the next few weeks, we will build a pergola over the entire thing.  The slab is 18 ft by 24 ft.
The "before" photos  



Freshly-stamped and curing 



Washed down to get ready for stain 



Staining in progress.  We used "Vintage Umber" from Kemiko.  There are other brands but we got this from a local paint store instead of trying to order it online.  We wanted a lighter colour, but the tans that Kemiko have seem to turn out with too much of an orange undertone.  



After finishing the first coat.  We diluted the stain 3:1 (3 parts water to 1 part stain).  For the second coat we mixed it 1:1.  

Finished and sealed.  We put on two coats of sealer (it took 2 gallons).  We will probably add a third coat this coming weekend.

A: Looks great!
