"Creating a level surface for the patio was the hardest part. We had to remove the old sod from that 168-square-foot spot in our yard, and Ben did that. My one bit of advice would be to rent a sod remover from your local hardware store. It makes the whole process so much easier."
"I used Behr's solid concrete stain in Storm and added a translucent slate color on top for depth. Once sealed, they were a pretty good match for the color I was going for throughout my backyard."
"First, I had to power wash over a hundred pavers, then prime and stain them (twice) to get rid of their faded pink color. The finished result was a beautiful new place to hang in my backyard that didn't exist before."
A DIY project involved creating a paver patio using leftover materials, specifically old pavers from a previous firepit. The process included power washing, priming, and staining the pavers to match the desired color. A 12- by 14-foot patio space was mapped out, requiring the removal of old sod and leveling the ground. Gravel and sand were added for drainage and stability. Despite physical challenges, the project resulted in a beautiful new backyard area for relaxation.
