Before the start of the project. The years took their toll on the old patio (c. 1984.)

The walkway from the main deck to the patio was added in 2000 and was in good shape.

A few blocks from the patio lay on top of the walkway, where the new patio will be.

The walkway blocks will be recycled into the new patio. The juniper bushes' days are numbered.

A view from the main deck. The flower pot marks the left edge of the new patio location.
The old patio will be replaced with a walkway. A mulch garden will be located where the table is now.

A close-up view of the existing patio. Time, weather and a soft sand base shifted many blocks.

The grade will be leveled, and a new retaining wall will sit where the flower pot is.

The old patio, looking down from the pool deck. A mulch garden will be located here.

Looking from the patio towards the main deck reveals the slope that will have to be dug out to level.

The work will primarily be done by hand to preserve the condition of the rest of the yard.

The new patio will be located between the edge of the old patio and the flower pot.
