[quote=Anonymous]I've DIYd a lot of stuff, but patios are not something I'd want to do (if you do it right). Reason being it's a TON of hard manual labor. Dig up a section of dirt and fill a wheelbarrow and see how you feel afterwards. To do a paver patio properly you need to add several inches of base gravel, and to get to that point you have to remove a lot of dirt. It's VERY hard work, and I'd consider building a deck over doing a patio any day. Patios are back breaking work. Then there's wheelbarrowing all the base into place, etc. Sure if you half ass it you can throw some stones down on top of the dirt and hope they dont sink/shift, but then you end up w/ a half ass patio that needs to be completely redone in the future.[/quote]
