Building this Fire Pit Patio was the best thing we've done in the yard. We really get so much enjoyment from it. We've since replaced the actual outdoor fireplace and added a couple more chairs. Easy to do if you don't mind a little exercise! Well worth the work.

If I'm building up the ground level to an existing higher level patio, how would i do this? Could I place the landscaping barrier on top of the existing grassy area? or would have to kill the grass first if not removing it?
Also, is it recommended that I build it up using wood, to achieve the desired height?
