Probably a dumb question but I always thought it was weird that they went through all that work and makeup to give him a laser eye and he doesn’t use it once.
First two pictures are before and after, then everything else was the process from start to finish. The last picture of the pavers was before I added the polymeric sand and tamper it. But I Started off by breaking up a little concrete slab walkway where the new paver walkway was going to go. That wasn’t fun. Then I started laying out the paver walkway and digging and filling with paver base. Then I realized how bad the slope was near where the walkway would be and decided to add a retaining wall to help with erosion and what not. You can’t tell from the first picture how bad the slope was the picture doesn’t do justice, but it was really bad, so this wall was necessary. So as I was doing the retaining wall I filled behind the wall with the concrete I broke up to use as drainage rock because why not lol. Then I finished off with the stairs leading out to the sidewalk. My in-laws are older so I was worried about them falling on the driveway when walking up in the snow or rain so I decided to do this for them to help them. And for some reason they refuse to park in the driveway which could prevent any falling but whatever that’s their choice. This was definitely a challenging job since I never really installed pavers before or built a retaining wall but I think it wasn’t too bad for my first time. Obviously there will be some landscaping in the future and mulching and what not but I told them to hire landscaper for that lol. I’m tired 🥵
Not sure how this happened I just noticed it the other day. Looks like something may have been dropped and took a chunk out. Is it just as simple as mixing up some mortar that looks close in color and filling it?
Doing some side work and really never priced out installing shutters before. There are about 13 pairs of shutters im installing the old ones are already taken off and they already have the new ones at their house. I just have to put them up. And it’s only one floor house. These are pretty easy to install but still don’t know what to charge for the job. Ideas?
I’m torn between getting Ready Seal stain or Armstrong Clark stain. I need about 5 gallons, the Armstrong Clark one is about $100 more than the ready seal. Should I just bite the bullet and get the Armstrong Clark ? Or will the ready seal be pretty close in quality? I have a good amount of fence to stain and can’t really afford expensive stain. Thoughts?

So I just finished installing this paver walkway, stairs and retaining wall. I’m trying to figure out what to do here with landscaping. This was for my in-laws and they like hostas so in the second and third pictures I used AI to add some hostas and mulch and what not. First two pictures are how it is right now without anything. Wasn’t sure if I should just do grass, do mulch on both sides? Even fill with stone? What do you guys think?
