A Garden Patio on Yates Road

Large pale pavers extend a covered Kelowna patio toward the garden. A smaller line of stepping stones carries the route across the lawn.

Working around the garden

The turn at the edge of the patio follows an existing planting bed. Preparing the ground meant moving a sprinkler head and adjusting the irrigation line beside the new work. The crew lifted the old bricks, dug out the pad and compacted crushed aggregate inside the form.

From the pour to the paver layout

In late May the team tied the reinforcing steel, poured the slab and gave it a broom finish. In June they set out the full-size tiles around the perimeter and planned the smaller pavers out into the grass. Seen from the lawn, those two scales make a clear distinction between the seating area and the garden path.
