Yeah, we've had about the same amount of rain here and some standing water in one part of the yard. I need to work on my drainage pattern a bit.
How did all your pavers hold up through the winter? Any heaving?
That's also on my to-do list, but maybe next year.

Good morning Jim & MN.
Randy, I had some heaving in the patio I did 10 years ago, but none with the new work. I do have a couple of cracks that ran through multiple bricks. I could accept a brick cracking, but this shouldn't happen. I don't have any cracks in the old pavers. Anchor brand versus Menards. I won't be using Menards brand again.

Good morning everyone!
I don't think lousy bricks can cause that, Jim....it's one thing if one of them cracks, but a long line like that suggests the ground shifted underneath them. Not defending the quality of Menard's stuff, because I think it's mostly crap, but I've never heard of pavers that will flex with the ground.
