Bobcat day

It's a chilly morning with temperature hovering around freezing.
Today, the the armour rock, flagstone, patio tiles and curbstones from the front of the house to the backyard by bobcat.



The soil was still damp from the past weeks rain and the bobcat got stick a few times a few times but the crew were able to throw more soil under the wheels to give it traction to continue. The old interlock walkway was completely dishevelled and I was started to worry how the foot deep trenches left by the bobcat would be repaired.



Whereever grass was removed, landscape fabric was laid in it's place. To ensure our river rock did not bleed into other neighbouring yards, barriers were installed at the base of the fence using 4 inch high and 20 ft long plastic borders we had bought from Walmart.


The flagstone for the back porch was mortared, while wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of pea gravel, river rock, and limestone was transferred from the front curb to the backyard.





By end of day, many layers of limestone were alternately added and compressed for the patio base.



With all the hardscape moved to the backyard, the Bobcat had done it's job and was taken away. It's funny how they backed the bobcat into the dumpster and then hoisted the dumpster onto the truck to take it away.
