Bricking it in.
That was the fun part - the part we have been so anxious to finally get to. Well, this weekend, it finally happened. But, we still had to do 1 1/2 days worth of prep before we got there. This included: land tilling and leveling, adding a weed guard layer, adding 3 truckloads of paver base (crushed limestone) and 2 truckloads of sand. All in all, it was an epic weekend. We are ahead of schedule, which never happens. Next steps? reinforce the perimeter of the bricks, and add some garden boxes in the empty areas. Enjoy!
