Lacey the lab puppy is concerned with my high vantage point as I take this panorama of a recently built patio and fire pit.

We recently completed this large patio and fire pit project in Atlanta. We built the whole patio here in Asheville and then created a detailed map of how the stones went together, before loading it on pallets and freighting it to the job site. It took us two and a half days to fix a slack grading job, reassemble the patio and build the fire pit. They were long days of hard work and great fun. The hosting house had a pool table, which was a nice bonus. This was very much an experiment, but I feel like it worked so well and we learned so much, that we can start offering our particular styles of flagstone patios to areas outside of Asheville.
