For the month of August Woody’s Custom Landscaping has been blessed with a booked month and all hardscaping jobs. This has been our niche for quite a long time and it is what we do extremely well. In Portland we are taking up a rather large flagstone patio and installing it the correct way. When I went to give the estimate, I noticed that the flagstone patio had 3-6″ joints. It also had about three inches of sand, that the flagstone were resting on. Kind of hard to not stub your toe and put out your patio furniture with confidence that the chairs and tables won’t find that sand and sink in. We have removed the sand, installed a 4″ base of 1/4″ minus gravel compacted, cut all the flagstone so that we have 1″ gaps and not more, reinstalled the flagstone, and finally we are putting a polymeric sand down to serve as the mortar joint.
We are also installing a bubbler fountain and a 200 sq. foot flagstone patio that will be on a mortar base and with mortar joints.All the flagstone is variegated 1-2″ thick and large pieces.
Our other job is in Vancouver and is a pretty big hardscaping job. We have approximately 1,000′ of Paleo Summit pavers from Mutual Materials, that are serving as a pretty large entry to the front of the home.
In the rear of the home we are installing about 60′ of seat wall with iron mountain stone as the face.
We also have about 400′ of paver patio that have a unique curve to them. Connected to the rear paver patio we are constructing a adjoining iron mountain flagstone patio of about 700 sq. feet. The patio is traditional flagstone work. Complete with concrete subslab, mortared base and mortar joints. It should be very beautiful. In the front and rear yards 24 tons of mossy boulders are incorporated as well as 6 pilasters for entry gatesfor the rear and front of the home. The pilasters are made with CMU block and faced with iron mountain flagstone. Once we get nearer to completion the homeowner is getting a complete outdoor kitchen. We plan to face it with iron mountain flagstone for them.
