Our New Backyard Fire Pit Patio

I am excited to share one of our rare DIY projects – that may be the beginning of many more! It was so fun and transformational. I finally get it all you DIYers! What fun it is to “Do It Yourself!”

Honestly, because I build houses by day, I am less rallied to be building anything for myself. What I do love is designing all types of spaces. Typically, I call in the professionals to bring my vision to life. But, with COVID19 we had extended time at home, so it seemed like the perfect moment to jump in.

I have been wanting a fire pit patio as part of our backyard space for a while now. A place to sit underneath the open sky and hang out, have a glass of wine with family and friends, or just enjoy an early morning coffee and the paper. So, one Saturday we decided to go for it.

Thankfully, David was in charge as I had no idea what was involved in setting patio pavers. But he made quick work of it and brought my vision to life in just one weekend! Here is the before, during, and after. Thank you to Home Depot & Target! We couldn't have done it without you.

It all started with a truck full of Home Depot products!

Once we had our plan, we had to grade out a portion of our yard for the patio.

A little muscle goes a long way!

Now it’s time to enjoy all of our hard work…
