To build a simple DIY patio, you will need:
- Pavers
- Gravel or limestone paver base
- Edging (optional)
- Leveling sand
- Tamper or plate compactor
Instructions:
- Mark out the area of your patio and dig it down 6 inches.
- Add a 6-inch layer of gravel or limestone paver base and compact it.
- Spread a thin layer of leveling sand over the base and smooth it out.
- Begin laying the pavers, starting at one edge of the patio. Work your way across, placing the pavers as close together as possible.
- If desired, install plastic edging around the perimeter of the patio.
- Fill in any gaps between the pavers with leveling sand.
Tips:
- For a simple patio, use one size of paver and a square or rectangular design.
- If you are using limestone paver base, lightly wet it before compacting.
- Use a tamper or plate compactor to create a firm base.
- Be sure to level the pavers as you lay them.
- Fill in any gaps between the pavers with leveling sand to prevent weeds from growing.
