This house had a detached garage and a lot of unused space behind it. This is where I built the secret garden in the back corner, and right behind the garage I built this stone and flagstone patio. It was the perfect spot to put a table set and a place to sit with morning coffee.
The area had to be excavated and leveled 
Everywhere I dug in this yard I found cement, rocks, and other debris 
The area was tamped 
leveling sand was laid 
The larger flagstone was placed 
The rest was filled in with other rocks and paver fragments 
The stones were set with PowerLock Sand 
This is the finished area with the secret garden above
