What did Yard Dog build in White Oak, TX?
This White Oak backyard falls away from the house, so the patio had to be built up to stay level. Our crew raised one corner on a chopped stone wall, built a chopped stone fire pit and set Cherokee flagstone around it.
The video shows the build and the finished patio, fire pit and all.
How we built it
Base
The patio area was dug out, filled and compacted with a plate compactor.
Chopped stone wall
Where the yard drops, a chopped stone wall holds up the elevated corner.
Sand setting bed
A sand setting bed went down to bed the flagstone.
Flagstone and fire pit
Cherokee flagstone was set and mortared around a chopped stone fire pit.
Backfill and grade
The ground around the patio was backfilled and graded.
