99th Street North St. Pete Courtyards

Courtyards on 99th Street North often sit under live oak. Shade is the point of the yard, and it is also why a flat sand set stays wet. Roots heave a thin edge. Furniture legs punch a joint that was never locked.

Shade-yard build

We cut the field to the usable footprint, not the whole yard, and we build a base that can take a table without rocking. Pitch leaves the house. Where a root is already lifting the old concrete, we work around it or bridge it instead of pretending a paver will hold it down.

• Base compacted in lifts, sized for furniture and foot traffic

• Pitch away from the slab and the screen enclosure

• Edge restraint kept off the drip line where roots are active

• Joint sand locked after compaction so shade and irrigation do not wash it out
