Got my stone patio done. Now it's hot tub time!!! I watched it rain for a few weeks and i decided i dont need to dig another ditch. The water filled the hole and was gone soon after. So i dug it deeper and put to cinder blocks on their sides and filled them with crushed stone and filled with more crushed stone. Laid a larger flat rock on top n finished it up. Now im relaxing!!!!

Nice Job! Hopefully, that should take care of your water issue!

I believe it will. I've not taken on water since digging it out.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it's done. I reused all the material. The only thing I have into it is labor. I used the stone from the pool build and and the flat stone I hauled from my brother's house. I want to do the next section to the back of the shed but I ran out of stone to finish it. I have to track more down.

Today, before I got ready to winterize the pool, I found 2 diving diamonds in the pool. One was a diamond that is April's birthstone color and the other is blue topaz, December's birthstone color. My hubby and I have birthdays in April and December. I'd like to think it was a sign from him that he wanted me to know everything would be okay. I left them in the pool and covered it.

It was absolutely a sign from him! Beautiful!!

It's been awhile since updating this thread. I just completed a stone patio around the pump to combat weeds. I believe this will cut down on that tremendously! I got what I wanted done today. I'll pick it back up in the spring. I'm beat but very happy with the outcome of the project I took on.

I got a project for you! Looks good!

I like this rock.

Everything about it is perfect; the color, lighting, composition, material, placement etc.

It’s got real charisma and cache.

It’s confident without being overbearing about it.

 

[woodyp]

Sounds like a rock fashion show!

 

[JamesW]

It's a Rockstar.

 

[kimkats]

That looks wonderful!! Well done!

It's about 3- 4 weekends of work. I had to remove a lot of dirt and weeds too. This seems like the last weekend of 50-60° days n I pushed to get it done. I want to do the right side of the pump but I'll wait til next spring.

Looks fantastic! Its so nice to have a clean & easy to cut around pad. I just have medium washed gravel & a couple strategically placed pavers but I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner!
I use preen & roundup for weed control a couple times a year but otherwise rocks are pretty maintenance free. Finally got it in all my flower beds too. Just blow the leaves away & its back to looking great. I was able to make it where we can get right up next to it with the mower so weedeating is pretty minimal too.
