Building a Trash Can Stand

While not as sophisticated as a Trash Can Corral, I wanted to build a flat and level location to store my trash cans.

Bonus - I placed the trash can pad in a shady location in my yard, an area where it has been tough to grow anything.

I used surplus materials to build the pad. The materials as well as the skills and techniques are roughly similar to building a concrete paver patio or walk.

I used and you'll need 4x4 landscape timbers, paver base (crush-n-run), paver sand, pavers (in my case bluestone) and pea stone.

Assembly includes siting the pad, setting the timbers, leveling the grade, adding and compacting the paver base, installing pavers and finishing.
