Driveway at the other place turned out nice.

There is a natural efflorescense thing that happens to these pavers. It's mentioned in the fine print. It will naturally go away or can be removed with special washing procedure.

You can see the difference between new on left and last year's on right. The factory rep came out to peek (he always comes out to look at my work) and said he would pay to have it washed. He also gave me a card and said to email him before I buy more and he'll give me a discount.
After I'm 90% done and spent $45K over 3 years on pavers and blue stone, I get a discount and free cleaning. Lol. Thanks.

The grass is coming in where we built up this low lying area with excavated dirt. No more swamp pool when it rains, but I should have used a layer of better grade top soil. Grass a little sparse. Threw some more seed there for now, may need more work later. Calling it done for now.

The only thing that fucked up was the Quickcrete black top patch that blends the pavers to the road.
It never set up, was soft and mooshy. It is finally hardening a bit on top, but you can kick a divot out of it without much effort. Keeping it down with sand for now. I hope it hardens, may have to dig out and redo.
Same thing at my place last November, but I think the cold winter made it get solid.
No more Quickcrete, a buddy said get Henry's in the black bucket. It sets fast but more expensive.
Live and learn.
