We used Juan, very reliable, reasonable prices, I would be happy to show you photos or in person the work at our house. He did bluestone paving throughout the whole back yard and lots of misc yard cleanup and masonry work. His number is 646 761 5676.

Don"t forget if you are in the historic district you must get Landmarks approval for any paving or change of elevation in your front or rear yard.

I understand the desire not to have a garden to maintain, but I would discuss low-maintenance alternatives that use plants with a landscaper. You can probably come up with something that costs a little less than pouring a slab, and that takes away the worst side-effects of paving the entire backyard.

There are a lot of mosses and other ground covers that just grow all by themselves, with zero attention from you. Using pavers and ground cover to create your extra entertaining space is probably going to cost less than a concrete slab, it will look nicer, you'll be doing the whole community a favor, because plants are like the lungs of an ecosystem, and because paving creates water runoff problems that the city struggles with. Plants are good for everyone!

Besides, cement will crack and eventually require maintenance anyway. By creating a surface out of smaller pavers, you could avoid that problem. It's really possible that it's a longer-lasting solution.

All of these are good points, but especially the water runoff. You may be surprised by the amount of water a storm generates if there is no ground for it to soak into.

Generally, making a fence for dogs & cattle is a challenging task. When you construct a fence for a dog, we have to consider the fence material as they may chew up a part of the fence (rare cases). In some cases, the dog may dig the basement of the fence to make a hole & escape. Therefore these factors must be kept in mind before u construct a fence for a dog.
