Visualizing Layout with a Garden Hose

All right, guys. Pro tip here for you. When you're laying out a patio or any structure for landscaping, the best thing you can do is use a garden hose. They don't use paint. A lot of people go to the store and they buy upside down paint, but they can't change the layout of their design. With a garden hose, you put it out one way, you lay it out, you take a look at it, and then if you have your furniture available and the things that you want to put into that space, put them in that space even before your structure is down.
