Finished the backyard project (90%)

I have finished the backyard fire pit and gazebo, at least to the wife's liking. I still have an area behind the gazebo where my smoker and charcoal pit are that I will build a cover over and install the light.

Everything looks great other than the lack of privacy

Yes, I did a slate stamp with a light grey color. Of I had to do it again I would not do a round slab and stamp it. It was a pain keeping it in line with the hole for the fire pit in the middle of it.

Love that setup. Do you have a strong portable fan to sit next to the grill and blow the smoke to the left away from the TV?
I would plant some tall growing hedges along that back fence ASAP to try and block those windows a little.

Looks great, do you have the before pic?

Looks amazing. Any kind of special brick you used for firepit? Where'd you get those adirondack chairs?

Did you get the concrete from a truck? I used to use the U Can Cart place on Harrell's Ferry for small projects, but I think they went out of business.

No special bricks and just regular landscape bricks. Those are the plastic ones for Lowe's that were on sale for $20 each.

Yes, I used a truck but I had to Georgia Buggy to the backyard.

No fan but it hasn't been a problem yet. I want to plant something like Italian Cypress across the back to make a wall.

Was the gazebo a kit?

Looks great! How long did it take you?
TDs could have done that in 48 hours.

Gazebo is a kit from Costco. If I remeber correctly its a 12X12 and I think I paid around $1600 a few years ago.
OP did a much better job then I did, but mine is still a work in progress.

Looking good ... where's the fire wood?

Yeah, 12x14 kit from Costco cedar.

Once I ran the conduit and poured the concrete it took about about 4 hours to setup the gazebo. It took another weekend to build the bar. I had a huge pile of 1x6 tongue & grove pine I recovered from a demo'd house in Capital Heights that I covered the bar in and made all of the doors with some tin.

I have an 8x4 rack behind the garage. I need to make another trip to pickup some wood soon. The wife likes a fire.

I'm thinking Italian Cypress. They get up to 115 ft tall and average 6 ft in diameter so if I space them about 3 feet apart I can have a nice wall of trees that stay green year round.
