Pea Stone Patio Makeover

$250

The owners of this patio, Cheryl & Anders Rasmussen, are good friends of mine. While working on some interior projects in their home, they had picked my brain a bit for ideas on what to do with their patio. Thinking that the only way to turn was to dig up the existing patio and have a concrete slab poured, they received several estimates for a stamped concrete patio. All of the estimates seemed to fall right around the $10,000 mark. That price tag seemed to be a commitment and investment that was above and beyond.
BEFORE
So - let the brainstorming begin! It appeared that the stone in the existing patio was in decent shape. The issue was that the size of the patio was too small, it was no longer level and quite honestly looked dated and was more of an eyesore than anything. We talked about their goals and looked to Pinterest for inspiration and ideas. We came up with an idea that would reuse the existing stone, cost very little money, and could be done on their own.
AFTER
With some patience and a good level, this beautiful patio was born for only $250!!!!
