It has been several days since starting the blog and I actually did start moving dirt on Sunday morning for my interlocking paver patio. The only thing is that I winged it after spraying some marking paint on the ground in a shape that looked like I wanted to have the patio lay.
.
This is a point that I want to make. A landscape could be completely planned out and installed in a short period of time if you wanted to contract someone to do it. But this is a complete 'Do It Yourself" Project and I am not limiting myself to just one plan. I believe this project should evolve into itself over time. The placements of what I would like, where I would like, and when I would like. This is my home and I am creating the landscape for me.
.
So my plan will change as I move forward and move into different phases of the install. Plan pictures will be updated before, during and after a project. I intend to link websites of the manufactures and vendors of products I am using in this project to footnote the information I access to perform different parts of the install.
.
So the first stage of my plan is to install the interlocking paver patio. My drawing posted here is how the final product will look. I plan on using Pavestone manufacturers 'Plaza 1" pavers consisting of two different sized stones and laying them in a "Muster K" pattern. It is a repeating pattern that is quite broad and gives it a sense of structure without being as noticeable as some patterns.

Visit www.pavestone.com for product information if you are interested. There is also a great "How To" Video that is 15 minutes long and gives a lot of great info on installing a paver patio from preparation to completion.
