Bellflower Dr in Vail Colorado.
The overall scope of the project is to replace the existing driveways, spa area, and
lower back patio area with heated pavers. The area between the spa deck and the west
driveway will be changed from dirt and grass to heated pavers with a small gas fire pit
and a garden area. The East Drive will be reduced in width by 2 feet and the Spa Patio
will be increased by 1.9 feet.
The project will be broken down into 3 segments. The first segment will be the lower
rear deck, spa area and fire pit area. This segment is expected to take about 6 weeks.
The second segment will be the west drive and walkway between the drives, and is
expected to take about 2.5 weeks. The third section is the east drive and boiler
installation and is expected to take about 2.5 weeks as well.
The first segment will be undertaken in the following manner. The removal of the current
decking, railing, the 3’ retaining wall, spa, privacy wall stairs and concrete pad at base
of stairs. A new pressed concrete block retaining wall will be built to replace the old. A
concrete pad with cinder block walls will be built to house the Spa. and the area will be
back filled to bring it up to level. The heating tubes will be installed and pressure tested
then the pavers will be laid to give a finished surface. A glass wall will be placed across
the north end of the patio area alongside the spa for safety, this wall will then become a
cable railing with a wood top rail across the rest of the north side of the patio area. A
faux stone privacy wall along the west side of the spa for visual privacy and safety
becoming a cable rail and continuing to the stairs leading up to the main level of the
house. This section will all be on the same level as the existing lower back patio.
The fire pit section will be on the same level as the spa section the firepit located
approximately in the middle of the section. A garden section will be located at the south
end of the section and will have a staircase around it. The stairs leading up to the main
section of the house will be running south along the west side of the patio to a landing
and then turning east and finishing at the main level of the house. The retaining wall will
be built first and then back filled. The stairs will be built next. then the gas line will be run
for the fire pit. The fire pit built, the heating tubes run and tested and then the pavers
laid. This will complete the first section of the project.
The second section of the project will be started by removing the existing driveway and
walkway between drives to a dumpster. Then the heating tubes will be run and tested
and the pavers laid. a cable rail will be run along the west side of the drive and along
the north side by the staircase to the fire pit area.
The third section of the project will be to remove the existing concrete driveway in front
of the garage and then to lay the heating tubes and pavers. Finally the boiler will be
installed to complete the project.
