We traded a patch of grass for nights around the fire. 🔥

This big house came with the tiniest covered patio, and we wanted somewhere to gather, relax, and entertain. So we turned a patch of grass into a budget-friendly DIY paver patio—and now we have a whole new reason to spend evenings outside.
Here’s how our project came together:
• Measured the space to plan our layout and supplies.
• Removed the top layer of grass and relocated the lawn sprinklers.
• Graded the area and added aluminum edging to help establish the perimeter.
• Laid weed barrier and staked it down.
• Spread and leveled the sand.
• Installed 24-by-24-inch pavers, rotating each one 90 degrees to create an alternating pattern.
• Worked polymeric sand into the joints and gently misted it with water to help it set.
• Built up the soil along the sides, where we’re hoping the grass will fill in next growing season.
