You’ve been staring at that perfect patio space out there in the yard from your home office window for how many weeks now? Could this be the weekend you actually make something happen? Of course it could.

We’ve stared at a few perfect patio spaces ourselves, and in our search, we found this cool DIY patio project right here.

Apparently, Mr. Buildit and Mrs Styleit have this whole patio thing down to a science. They worked with a local contractor, but did much of the work themselves. They probably made their own lemonade, too, but we’re ahead of ourselves.

Their plans walk you through a pretty nifty patio project of your own, from measurements to the actual paving. FYI, it’s going to involve real work, like measuring, digging, leveling and painting, but as you can see, the results are pretty spiffy.  The project also creates a wooden seating area and a concrete grill smack in the middle of it all. 

If this kind of thing interests you, the Weekendr would love to see your projects, whether this one or another. We’ll even publish a story and some photos if you’ve got something you’re particularly proud of.

You have plenty of time these days, and the kids happen to love marshmallows.

Got a project you’re working on? Send the deets to erivera@pasadenanowmagazine.com.
