I am leaning towards pavers as well but will wait a season to have them installed. Where about in Boston are you located? Do you mind me asking what PB you went with?

http://Had the patio pavers installed and came out awesome!! A few questions on drainage. I have some decko drains installed on two sides and trying to figure out how to channel the water away that comes out of them.
Here is the first section: I just dug a little trench for this area, not to concerned about this area as water will make its way behind that wheel barrow. Should I just fill this little trench with crushed stone ?

Any ideas on how to deal with the drainage in these two areas? I plan on having decorative rock all around the patio.

Your patio came out great. What are the measurements/sq ft? I am trying to figure out my patio right now. What did you end up doing for the pool border?

 

[moreira85]

Thanks we love it!!!! Its probably around 1100-1200 sq feet. We did a 12 inch colored concrete wrap around the border of the pool then pavers run right off that.

Well all done folks! Just finished up the fencing today and im beat. Started to landscape with some plants and gotta order some crushed decorative stone. I have to call for the final inspection. Quick question on the grading? In one area in the photo above where you see those 3 retaining blocks, the height frome the outside grade to bottom rail of fence is much more than 2 inches. The code says it should be 2 inches from finished grade to bottom rail. I graded right up to the bottom rail on the pool side. Opposite tge pool side i plan on building a little 1 foot retaining wall right up to the bottom rail of the fence like in the photo. Will this suffice for this area?

I'd expect zero issue on your grading question. The measurement would be from the bottom member to the ground, presumably on whichever side had the least clearance.

Did you get your water drainage issue cleared up? I know that if you can have your drainage pipes extend to a grassy area, you will have minimal if any issues. Maybe put some rock at the end of the drainage pipe to let the water spread out a bit then no worries. When we drain our pool down for the winter, I run it into our deck drain and out. So I have thousands of gallons going onto grass (with a few rocks first) and it's perfect, if soggy.

 

[moreira85]

Thanks! As u can see in one of the photos above where the corrugated pipe is, Im going to dig out a small french drain leading out to grass area.

Very good.
