We have signed a contract to get a new patio (and do some other sundry stuff in the backyard). Work commenced last week with the removal of 3 large pine trees on the side of the house and a large locust tree from the back of the property as well. We are using techo bloc for the patio. There will be a main section outside the addition and then a smaller section with a fire pit behind the addition. There will also be two walls (one in each section of the patio). The fire pit area will be lower than the main area - requiring a step down into that section.
Tyler up in the Locust tree we took down. Leslie was not happy I was taking a picture of this. He is 15-20 feet in the air and there are no branches between him and the ground. He was higher in the tree when Leslie found him in it and called me to come get him down.

The side of the house without the three big pine trees. Its looks pretty bare at the moment.

With the grass removed they used spray paint to indicate where the walls will be built. Is around the outside of the dirt area - a little hard to see
