[quote=Anonymous]Building a patio (and a path to the patio) with pavers is pretty easy, and you can see lots of videos online on how to level sand under the space, lay the pavers over the sand, and sweep more sand between the pavers to lock them into place. I would not want to DIY natural stone because it is hard to cut and often uneven. Also, I would plan a square patio so you can minimize cutting. Also, pick you location carefully so you don't have a lot of roots that will push up the pavers or water flow that will wash away the base sand. Be prepared because (1) it will still be several thousand $ in materials) and (2) very heavy. FYI - if you want to do something really easy, google crushed stone patios. You will get annoyed at getting pebbles in your shoes, but it will give you some nice outdoor space.[/quote]
