We, like so many other families, have had a home project - a new patio!
This area right outside our back door was just a area overgrown with weeds. We decided it would be nice to make it into a paved patio area for extra seating. We weeded it and then put a weed blocker on top.
Then we leveled it with sand.
Next we added a border that would also serve as a retaining wall.
We chose some paving stones that would complement the tiles on our covered patio.
Since the area has a curved edge, we filled in the gaps surrounding the stones with pea gravel.
It took 2 weekends, but was totally worth it!
The kids really loved working on this project! That night we sat out on the patio and shared memories while we watched the stars. We even saw the ISS!
We love the way it turned out and definitely made more memories as a family.
