This project involved creating a new large patio area for entertaining and a new picket fence around the patio with three gates to stop young children and pets straying out on to the farm. First of all an area of lawn is excavated to the shape of the proposed patio and a sub base layer compacted. Next the Indian sandstone slabs are laid in a five size project pack random pattern on a wet sand / cement bed. Once the slabs are finished being laid they are then pointed using a grey resin mortar to complement the grey sandstone slabs. Finally a sleeper edging against the lawm is installed with a 3 ft high picket fence on top. Three new gates are incorporated into the fence to give access to the large surrounding gardens and driveway.
