This is what the non-grass-growing space looked like "Before":
Step One: Go to Home Depot and load up on sand, rock, pavers, tamper & a 2x4 board.
Step Two: Those bags of sand & rock weight 50 pounds each. Max & his 4-wheeler to the rescue. The weekend we decided to make this patio was the weekend after Byron's back surgery. Max & I rocked it!!
Isn't he the cutest, driving those bags around the house?
Step Three: Start to fill in the space with rock. Make sure to slope away from the house.
Step Four: Fill the space with rock then sand, tampering as you go.
Step Five: There is no such thing as "too young to help"!
Step Six: Add the pavers, leveling as you go.
Step Seven: Enjoy! I promise the pavers are more level than the picture shows. I think my wide angle lens warped the image. Anyway...it is good enough :)
Don't you just love spring and the outdoor projects that it brings?
XOXO

Medium Rare - that's how I like my steaks cooked ok - just so you remember!!
Maybe Max could help me w/ some of our projects here - he sure is a cutie pie!!
Nice! I did a similar project too, with weed blocker as the first layer. Shall I bring the potato salad?
