Driveway and Pergola

Our anniversary present this year was to have a baby-free weekend and build our pergola outside. We used multiple 4×4’s instead of bigger posts so we had an interesting connection for the privacy barn boards we are planning to put on it.

We made our lives a little bit difficult with the flagstone, because we not only have a giant driveway, but we also got B-Grade flagstone so not all of them are the same width. But we managed to find a method and layout went fairly quickly. We will be filling the cracks with soil and planting some hardy grass in it so the driveway doesn’t look so concrete-like. The path section with have some small stones in the spaces to define it and make it more obvious how to get to the main entry.
