  • This is my side yard before. These are the granite blocks I used to create my new patio.
Ugly before, right??
  • This pattern I saw at a local nursery was my inspiration.
  • I dug my hole about 3-4 inches deeper than the stones. I covered the base of the hole with a layer of weed block fabric, then 2-3 inches of sand. I laid out stones in a circular pattern starting in the center.
