    Unless you have to have a hard surface for someone impaired, just put out your outdoor furnishings on the grass. Move them around so the grass doesn't completely die.

    If you have to have a solid surface, there are lots of plastic products that snap together to form a solid space. Just know you'll kill the grass. Owner may not be pleased.

  • First check with your landlord and then I would install a cement paver patio which can be removed and reestablish the lawn when desired.

    • True, unless your plan on being in the same place for a few years, then in might be worth a $200 investment. I did it when I was young and renting a house, but in those days you could rent a house for $500 a month and pavers were 10 cents each. (That very same house now rents for $2,100 per month with a minimum 1 year lease.) Maybe look into Bijous_2010 suggestion - they sell the snap together patio bits at Big Lots, then you could move them around and take with you when you move.

    Do not do anything without contacting the landlord first to get permission! It is not your property and you may lose your deposit.

    Yes, check with your landlord. They may be very happy to have you construct a patio that would make their property more valuable.

    Do you have your landlord permission

    Agree with getting landlord approval IN WRITING. Your security deposit can be in jeopardy and more.
