DIY Network: The Big Patio Dig

Monetary investments aside, if I had known that building a patio would be as easy as it’s been for us so far, I probably would have pushed to start building it much earlier. Once we picked the materials and started digging, momentum took over and all of a sudden, we have this 6″ trench in our backyard and have been busy contemplating flagstone layouts over dinner.

I hope that this week’s post on DIY Network gives you the motivation to start your own patio project, because as you’ll see, it won’t require special tools, just a little planning and brute strength.

If you missed it, in last week’s post we considered materials and made the big purchase.
