    Your drainage solution is impressive for a first timer and that edge restraint looks solid enough to survive a hurricane.

    Looks great! It appears the pictures posted
    In backwards profession so I was confused at first.

    Y’all did a great job and I hope y’all have many years of enjoyment from this project.

    From one Amateur to another, you knocked it out of the park. GREAT job! 👏

    Your workmanship looks very nice!

    I’d be very concerned about the masonry and grade being so close to the family room siding. It invites termites.

    You all should be proud. It looks really good. Enjoy your backyard picnics and bbqs.

  6. Are you going to build up the slope around the patio or just leave a foot drop off?

    This is awesome!!! I love that the other single door exits onto the patio too, now.

  8. Post up an after pic with the table and chair for reference!

    Very pretty! I hope you make many happy memories there!

    nicely done, I really like the large blocks and color variance that you built in, looks great.

    Another commented on your drainage, could you talk about that a little bit? Do you have a french drain on the left and just the rain gutter routed on the right? anything else that I’m not seeing?

    Also recommend doing something with the drop off, curious to hear how you’ll approach that

    Looks great. Bummed out you lost all that beautiful ground cover though.

    Love the pattern with the blocks, really good work.

    Time to fire up the bbq (weather dependant)
