    Yes, I wanted minimal grass in the backyard. I'm having bbq outfitters come out and realign my lid. I think when pb installed the bge the lid went a little off. I'm getting some smoke coming out the back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    @bmoreswim @sham Thanks! Truthfully, the kids would have been happy with a concrete slab after playing on a slanted driveway for so song. However, my wife really appreciates the aesthetics for the back yard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    Travertine pool deck with acid rain

    Travertine has been around and used for outdoor use forever. The travertine will most likely outlast you.
