A few sneak peek pics of this fire pit project as it goes along and slowly winding down.

We’re almost on the downhill side of this project. Next up, we’re bringing in another 1.5 tons of 1/4” white creek stone. Another 18 tons of backfill dirt to taper and tame the slopes around the fire pit area to give it a gradual and natural sloping finish, and then mulch will be brought in to spread around the outer perimeters for the flower/shrub garden.

The tarp dividing the dirt and stone will aid in the dirt mixing in with the stone and also act as a w**d barrier. Once the remaining stone goes down the tarp will be trimmed just under the stone to conceal it.

A quick update to our May 2nd post. This future bon fire area is going to look nice. We will be picking up more supplies and a couple more 6”x6”x 16’ treated timber. Adding some steps on the outside,staining the timbers. Bringing in a load of gravel. Some more finish grading, adding mulch and a flower garden will be on the exterior of the walls.

The customer will decide what style and type of fire ring they want in the middle of the lounging area so that we can get it installed and this project is slowly nearing the end.

This is Sergio Guel, what an awesome welder he truly is and he definitely has some steady hands. Sergio spent some time on the pipe lines and has a nice mobile rig for all of your heavy equipment fabrication and welding repair needs. My machines bucket had a couple worn out teeth and shanks and the welds decided to break in the middle of multiple projects going on. I ran into him and ask if he could weld some shanks back onto my mini excavator. If you know a thing about welding it’s takes time to master and this is a blue collar trade that doesn’t come to someone overnight. Lots of welding and practicing and plenty of hands on experience to get to the level of welder he is at. If you need some welding repairs done in the Cleveland county Shelby,NC and surrounding areas, he’s your man to reach out to for all your equipment and trailer welding repair needs. More videos will be added in the comment section of his work.

A couple more loads of dirt will be brought in and it will be leveled up to the weeping cherry tree for this small personal home flower garden/fire pit project my wife ask me to do for her for this spring/summer to enjoy some family evening times together. It’s slowly coming together. It’s still semi-rough graded, what do y’all think so far?

They did a fantastic job on our exterior house trim/molding, gutters, and front/back porches. We can’t speak enough good words about this young duo.

They’re young, smart, hard working, dependable, punctual, and very professional.
