    Really appreciate the extra work to make sure this thing looks good for a while and doesn't get overrun by weeds and grass in a year.
    So many people do quick and easy backyard jobs like this and everything becomes unlevel and a mess of weeds and grass after about a year or sometimes it takes just one summer of heavy rains to turn a backyard project into something that barely resembles what it once looked like.

    Good content, easily explained. When I bought my house it had identical pavers like you did in the end. I ended up redoing it because every time I walk, one foot on paver, another in between pavers. So I placed them in a straight line and removed the crack so it's brick-to-brick. Just needed to buy a dozen pavers more😊

    I really appreciate this video. I have a similar project in the near future. I’d like to make a suggestion for next time. All those planes tell me your folks liked the privacy. I saw many perennials in pots. I might have made a planting border along the deck & put the plants in the ground and put the walkway in beyond the border. A little less lawn to mow & some appealing landscaping that give privacy on the deck. Cheers!

    Dude this is awesome. Awesome idea, awesome tutorial, awesome finished look. I just figured out what I’m doing along where my soffett-drip line used to be before my rain gutters were installed! Thank you!!! And moreover, I’m gonna do a low deck now, as opposed to one 3ft off the ground. YOU JUST SAVED ME A TON OF MONEY!!!!
