[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I DIY so much around the house but I would at least hire someone to help with this because it is so much brute labor, especially in the summer and you will be exhausted quickly. Definitely if you're talking about pouring concrete squares that is so much work to build the frames, you'll have to hire a mixer, and worse if you f- up you'll have to deal with busting up and hauling away the mistake. Pavers would maybe be easier but it's so hard to do it well and you'll just be frustrated and tripping if they start to pop up on you. You also need to make sure you're not setting up a drainage problem against the house.

If you're looking for an easy but non-permanent option while you're saving up, maybe try the IKEA tiles if your area is really flat and/or if it's pretty dry, just mow the grass really short and throw and outdoor rug down for your party. Put up an umbrella.

I would use your own labor for planting/mulching for sure but definitely let pros do the hardscaping. [/quote]
