A Resurfaced Patio
Host Ken Bastida and landscape architect Louise Leff discuss design principles for a resurfaced patio. Leff uses peach-colored flagstone for the new patio. Slate, brick or pavers could be used as well. Landscape contractor Macario Bedoy discusses mortars. Leff also creates a woodland garden that is wind tolerant; she uses grasses, low plants and shrubs with large leaves and branches that let the wind blow through. Bedoy uses a saw to cut the edge of the patio and gives it a smooth, unified curve all the way around. He rinses the flagstone to prepare it for grout and uses a masonry bag to apply grout into the spaces and in all nooks and crannies. Leff adds accessories and a small fountain.
