The grass is bermuda and it's dormant in the winter. We didn't do the fireplace, I should have specified that. On that particular job we did the patio and shrub installation. We had to sub out the sprinkler and sod to a larger company due to time constraints. The customers wanted to be in new house before Christmas and we only had about ten 10 days and it was wet. The flagstone was sanded in with fine gravel. There we were trying to match an existing patio, it turned out pretty good. I'll try to post some more pics of that project. That particular house is a long term project. So far we've installed irrigation, sod, beds, trees, and lots of other stuff.
