Everything began by convincing Al Brasil to build us a brick path that winds to the backyard. Before we could begin building an outdoor oven, we had to get a path going. The best company to work with in the Pacific Northwest is Mutual Materials. If you go through Home Depot, you can save a lot of money because they work directly with Mutual Materials. I saw the design online, Hardscapes Old Dominion in Rustic Blend. Old Dominion is a pattern using squares and rectangles. Al built a beautiful path.
And the path led to building a circular patio of course. The circle was not easy to figure out either. After a few attempts we realized that you can't just use the bricks you have on an extra pallet, but you have to buy the circle kit (another pallet was delivered). Once again, Al got Carmina, Ernie and I working and he was a great foreman. The circle made everything look even more wonderful. A couple of side areas and pots full of rosemary and basil and the need for the outdoor oven was really feeling urgent. It was August 2013 and we kind of decided to have our outdoor oven extraordinaire, Al, start laying the foundation for a small oven that faces the brick circle.
