DIY Paver Patio Project

Patio Pavers Fireplace

DIY Paver Patio Project

We finally have our DIY Patio Paver Project is almost complete! Now all I need is some great new patio furniture, a few accessories, beautiful container plants and this backyard transformation will be 100% complete.

As many of my loyal subscribers know, we have been working on a DIY Paver Patio Project in our back yard since December of last year. Well, I am excited to announce that the patio portion of this project is complete. It has been a really long haul, and I needed to get this project finished up so I can concentrate on the One Room Challenge Event which is due next month.

Here is a quick before look at my mud pit and very sad back  yard last summer. As you can see almost all of our Bermuda sod was dying, mainly due to lack of sun and the shadows cast by our house. We decided the only permanent answer to fix this issue was to add a paver patio in the areas where our grass refused to live. I can not make the grass live in an area where it simply does not get enough sun, and creating a planter bed that takes up the entire backyard seemed very counterintuitive, I will save that idea for other areas of the yard.This past winter we dug up and removed all dead sod and weeds growing in the area where the patio was to be installed. I do recommend do this during the doment growing months it is easier. We rerouted the gutter downspout to release water further down our hillside past the purposed patio. This was accomplished by trenching across this area and laying back corrugated pipe, that would attach to the downspout on the house. Next we leveled out the ground in preparation of the pavers. As many of you Georgian’s know we live in an are full of “Red Clay”which is our dominant soil type. Georgia is synonymous with red clay, it is not great for planting but it is fabulous for setting pavers. Think of it as big terracotta bowl for your base, I mean who needs concrete, when you got clay right? During the leveling process, we experienced several rain storms, which was to our benefit, and helped tamp down the ground. So now we are ready for sand, pavers, stone and block.We ordered the Countryside Ashland Concrete Patio Stone pavers and all the other supplies needed from Lowes as they had the best stone color to match our home. We were also very happy to find our that Lowe’s would deliver all of it for a $75 delivery charge. Charles, our amazingly talented forklift operator was more than happy to place the pallets exactly where we wanted them without crushing our in ground irrigation system. This particular step saved us a lot of time, saving us from having to carry every single paver from the front yard around to the back, as we did with the fireplace last year. The next step in the process took place over several weekends, as moving over 5,000 blocks, no matter how close they were, just takes some time. We devised a plan of installing the pavers in large squared off sections. We would level the area and place sections of paver, tamping each one into to place and make sure they stayed relatively level. Our final patio size was planned to be the full length of the back of our house at approx. 65 ft long, and a range of 20 ft wide, which was based off the footprint of our house. When laying the pavers it is recommended to start at a flat sideline such as your house, or patio. This process will keep your pavers square and limit your possible cuts.We added in a knee wall for our existing planter bed, which houses my beautiful limelight hydrangeas. We also have a large specimen urn for my rare Blood Good Japanese Maple. They have a pretty red/green to burgundy fringed leaf shape with beautiful branches that drape.  The usually start at $100 for a small one gallon pot and can range into the thousands of dollars for more established trees. My sister had a huge one, and was apprised for about $2,000. So if you are in the market to grow and resale plants I would recommend this type,  you could get a good return, if you have a green thumb. They will also increase the resale of your home.

As you can see in the picture below I wanted the patio to have a curved edge. FYI- not the easiest thing to do according to my husband, Ron. We rented a concrete saw in order to make the curved cuts. However, he admits with the proper tools, aka the concrete tile saw, it was actually very easy. So if you want to have a curved border do not be deterred by the difficulty level.

Tip: If you save the excess cut pieces you might be able to flip them around and reuse them to fill space between metal edge and patio. We were able to use several pieces to create a full edge. Here we added a metal edging to hold the pavers in place. This will also help to hold the polymeric sand into the form as well. I know this may seem like a an unconventional step in the process, but it worked well for our yard. Believe me we watched lots of DIY tutorials prior to taking on this project, most of which show putting the frame work down first. My thought on this process was, if you put a frame work down first you make more work for yourself, especially in cutting the edge blocks to fit. I figured place the blocks, and allowing the run to end with a full block and then create your edge. I must admit, I was not exactly happy we were going to have to cut the rounded edge blocks above but I knew ethically the patio needed a little curve to give it a more organic feel instead of a big ugly rectangle.The final step for the paver patio was installing the polymeric sand. This was quick, easy and only took half a day, but you must have good weather on the horizon for 3 days during the curing process. So make sure you check you 5 day forecast. You can not install in freezing or near freezing conditions, and absolutely no rain!

(Side Note Added A Year Later- I will say I think this will end up being a yearly or bi yearly  maintenance process, depending on rain, to keep the sand looking fresh and from deteriorating from the weather. However, since was so simple I do mind that it will become a maintenance on our patio. )

Like I said this was probably the easiest part of the entire process. You dump out the sand, and sweep it into the cracks between the pavers. Make sure to tamp the blocks as you go, to insure a tight fill. Then after you you have filled between all pavers you spray with a light layer of water. I recommend using the mist setting on your hose pipe nozzle, to prevent over watering and run off. I made three full passes across the patio, on the mist setting and called it a day. Three days later our patio was complete.Now that the patio was complete I felt we needed to add on some heft with stone bases for the deck columns. The columns felt a little naked, not to mention our deck footings were not very evenly placed, which created a slight bow in the brick pavers. This solution would cover the bow and integrate the columns in to the final design for a high end finish. We added the stacked stone blocks and backfilled with concrete. This portion of the project was also very easy and finishes the patio off nicely. As soon as the weather gets warmer again, I envision 4 ferns hanging on the inside of the columns from pretty antique style wall hooks. We have had such crazy weather this spring, warm everything blooms and then, BAM freeze warning! So I am going to have to waiting until May, I guess. We will also plan to paint the underside of the deck white like our trim and maybe adding Edison bulb string lights, or a fun chandelier, and  I am pretty sure my hammock will be making an appearance too.For those of you that remember my DIY Pallet Vertical Herb Garden from last year, that we placed under the deck. I got it all filled up with all my favorite herbs. Now I can actually get to them easier, with tromping through the muddy back yard. Yay, see it’s the small things that make me happy!You can see from the pictures we were able to integrate the patio with our existing fireplace, as well. We built a fireplace in anticipation for this space, it was all a part of the overall plan to have additional backyard living space. The fireplace was a great find, on sale at the end of season, from Hayneedle. We were able get the entire thing for around $1,700 combining the sale along with a 20% off coupon plus free delivery to our driveway. I am not sure that it is still available anymore, sadly I have recently found that carries our fireplace Necessories Compact Outdoor. This was an opportunity we could not pass up, so again, we did things a little bit out of order. Since we have a pretty steep lot, the ability to have a pre built fireplace delivered was completely out of the question. All the local landscape companies were too afraid to drive the forklift down this hill thinking it would tip over. So our only option was to built it ourselves, brick by brick likes grown up legos.Okay, so you love everything, but just don’t understand those little lion statues I have on the fireplace. Why you ask? Well they are actually pretty sentimental to me. They are the matching markers for 2 of my kitties, Behr & Kramer (brothers), that passed several years ago. We had the markers in our previous backyard, where they were buried. I could not bare to leave the statues behind when we moved. So, I reluctantly moved them with no plan of what to do with them, and now they will adorn my patio fireplace.A lovely reminder of my boys that can stay with me forever. I truly believe that even in beautiful designs there is always a place for your sentimental objects. I think thats what makes your house a home, and not just a sterile designed space like a hotel or museum. So it is okay to let your personality and history shine through, it creates a more believable and unique space. To learn more about this design concept called Hygge Design, link over to my post a learn all about it.
Overall I think the DIY backyard patio project is a success. Considering we had been quoted over $15,000-$20,000 to create this area and we DIYed it for under $4,000. We still have a little further to go with patio furniture and other fun accessories, but we have our basic container plants done and will be on the hunt for fun outdoor things this summer so stay tuned for more updates with our Great Outdoor Spaces Blog Hop .

  3. Your patio is absolutely stunning! You’ve done a fabulous job, and the fireplace is great too. Huge improvement!

  4. What a good solution to patchy grass. We have been going to home shows for the past year trying to figure out how to do something like it, it’s nice to see that DIY can actually work out!

  5. This came out so good. We are working on re doing our outside area and porch this spring, and it is a big undertaking but so worth it.

  6. everything looks great in these photos. It all looks professionally done.

  7. What a beautiful job you’ve done! It looks gorgeous and it has totally transformed your garden.

  9. This looks so so so good!! Did you want to come and put some pavers on my patio too? You make it look so easy!

  10. Kristy

    I love this patio. I’m going to pin this for my dream home collection.

  11. Megan

    Your patio turned out beautiful! We live in a condo and don’t have space for that but one day I’d love to have a little patio to entertain and barbecue

  12. I love the pallet herb tower! I should try something like that for my back deck to save space.

  13. WOW! It would be nice to have a patio this beautiful! I really like the end result. You did such a great job redesigning it!

  14. katrina gehman

    you guys did a great job. i need someone to come and do my back yard. looks awesome

  15. Taty Pradilla

    My husband would be all for this project! It turned out very pretty.

  16. Elizabeth O.

    I love it! It’s so beautifully done and I couldn’t have chosen a better style for the flooring. It’s very nice!

  17. LOL you are too funny. I think if I saw another paver I might just puke…. it was a lot of hard work. 🙂

  18. It was a long haul. Hind site I probably should have published updates along the way to get more mileage for my blog post instead of only releasing it to the subscribers.

  19. I love the herb garden!!! It’s super easy to walk up and maintenance. Could be a great idea for older retired couples that can’t bend over easily to work a garden 🙂

  20. Thank you we were surprised that Lowe’s offered such pretty tumbled pavers. They look expensive but were not….

  21. Thank you, it took a long time and lots of planning.

  22. Indeed we are and can not wait to host a big ol backyard BBQ

  23. It was worth every penny and has probably increased the resale value of our home.

  24. You are invited over anytime my friend!!! I can’t wait to see yours!!! We should do a progressive cocktail party start at one and end up at the other!!! We can just roll the bar cart right down the street….LOL

  25. I am so happy to hear we got your creative juices flowing. Best of luck with your upcoming project 😉

  26. You are going to love it!!! make sure to share your picture I would love to see the finish project 😉

  27. That is the exact reason we added the paver patio too!!!

  28. Ladies Pass It On

    Oh I love what you have done here, it looks fantastic!!!! I bet you are over the moon

  29. What an amazing transformation. And I love the stone you picked out too its beautiful.

  30. OMG! I absolutely love this post! I am moving and want to have an extended patio. The quote was well over my budget, so I hope I’ll be as diligent as you and can do it myself!

  31. We were able to complete the patio for 1/3 of the cost of our professional quotes. I highly recommend if you think you can do it yourself to try. It is a lot of hard work but we saved so much money.

  32. Thank you, we loved the tumbled stone it give the patio a English cobblestone feel.

  33. David Best

    My favourite landscaping & paving idea – combining decking and random paving patterns. The clean lines of wooden decking vs natural shapes of crazy paving form an appealing contrast.

  34. Thank you, it was a lot of hard…..back breaking work, but we survived and truly love the finished product!!! Not to mention we saved ourselves about $15,000.

  35. Jaylan

    Oh yeah, fabluous stuff there you!

  36. rhea

    Good to see a talent at work. I can’t match that.

  37. Kayden Weldon

    That’s the best answer so far! Just build a patio if your yard won’t cooperate, show that yard who’s boss. You go girl!!!

  38. Gatsy

    I was so confused about what to buy, but this post makes it so easy. Thanks!

  39. Barbie

  63. Madeleine Nivaria

    Oh my goodness! What an incredible article! So inspired! Thank you!

  64. I am glad you enjoyed this project, it was a long time in the making!!! Make sure to sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss a thing!!!

  65. Dennis Shifflett

    I’m extremely inspired by this project. Is this a paid sponsored project or did you do the modifications yourself? It seems like a very big job for just two people.

  66. Dennis this was completly a self inflected project and was not sponsored by anyone other than ourselves. LOL!!! Believe me I would have love to have had this patio installed for us, but the pricing,for what we wanted, was completely out of our budget. We ended up doing the project for about a 1/3 of the cost, of the 3 quoted bids. I just took the money we saved and put it toward the next project!!!

  67. Christine Hughes

    Wow this was an intense project!!! I commend you on your talents to undertake such a large DIY and get such a an amazing professional quality outcome. You guys could be the next Fixer Uppers!!!

  68. Vanita Hamilton

    You really come to the table with perfect design talent and informative posts. This project seems completely do-able for someone like me. Thanks a lot for sharing this type of information on your web site.

  69. Dia Bossen

    This patio is fly, looks like a lot of hard work tho.

  70. Isabelle Paskett

    I do really like that fireplace, it is hard to believe you purchased it as a kit to build yourself. I will have to go check out Hayneedle and see if I can’t talk my hubby into purchasing one.

  71. Jon B.

    Wow this was a big project. It turned out very nice, but I am sure you both are worn out from moving all those stones. I did a small garden walk and wore myself out over a weekend. Just wanted to give you kudos for doing it yourself. lots great, good job.

  72. Ara Patria

    your page is great and so is this project. our patio leaves a lot to be desired, if you know what i mean. maybe we could add a few walls or even better a fireplace.

  73. Bev Shurtz

    You should take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will recommend this site!

  74. Thank You Bev, I appreciate your support. I would love to be considered as a best blog site!!! That is very exciting 🙂

  83. Veronica Talentino

    Hi there where did you purchase your pavers from? I have been looking online and the big boxes seem to expensive and the landscape companies are outragious. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
