AZEK pavers are made in the USA from 95% post-consumer recycled content. (A 500-square-foot patio is made from 250 truck tires and 7,500 gallon-sized plastic containers.) We partnered with AZEK to create a classy patio update, just in time for spring.
This year was Dunn DIY's second year at Seattle's Northwest Flower and Garden Show. I had a great time and hope you did too! Here are a few photos from one of our five days at the show.
