I would use bricks or some sort of blocks that will give good solid support as opposed to the ever so popular crafty 'pallets' and also allow water to pass through between the spacing. You can rim it with a heavier or higher block to make it more elegant. If you use brick, you can do a herringbone pattern or such to make it fancier if you so like.

Instead of making a patio,Purchase a rubbermaid garbage can storage container.

Depending on your budget: pallets, base of patio block, base of paver stone, poured concrete slab, plastic storage unit.

Use large flat patio blocks. We created a "deck" for our gas grill off our deck. Use as many as needed to create the space you need. Good luck.

Repurpose a pallet. Lay new boards across the existing boards and make a mini deck.

Determine the area you need and mark it off for supplies of landscape fabric and concrete pavers. The landscape fabric is for the weeds/grass. You may need to do some leveling of the surface of the ground. Lay your pavers. My husband did this for a back yard garbage can patio. Good luck!

I used an old pallet and cut it down.

I did this for my trash cans and for my garden hose reel. For the trash cans, I used some old weathered bricks dug up around my house from some prior owner's project. Our soil is a bit sandy, so I just dug down the depth of the bricks, made the "patio" large enough for three trash cans--but use only two, the extra space was for bundles or bags of yard waste, which our town composts. For the hose reel, which is in a visible spot, I bought pretty patio blocks that look like bluestone. I also put the extras next to my mailbox, so the mailman doesn't step on my flowers.

We have an "L-shaped" lattice pieces and put them around the cans. It hides them and is easy to move away to get to the cans. It stands by the side of the house and looks very nice.
