Diy Backyard Patio

To build a DIY backyard patio, you will need:

• Materials: pavers, sand, gravel, edging, leveling sand, PVC pipes, 2×4 lumber, tamper or plate compactor, tools
• Steps:
  1. Mark out the patio area and excavate to a depth of 6 inches.
  2. Add a layer of gravel or limestone paver base and tamp it down.
  3. Lay two 1-inch PVC pipes across the length of the area and fill in between with leveling sand.
  4. Lay 2×4 lumber across the PVC pipes and level the sand using a straight edge.
  5. Remove the PVC pipes and fill in the gaps with sand.
  6. Place the pavers on the sand bed, starting at one corner and working your way out.
  7. Add sand to the joints between the pavers and tamp them down.
  8. Install edging around the perimeter of the patio, if desired.

Once your patio is complete, you can add furniture and accessories to create a relaxing outdoor space.
