What happens here
The project begins with an overview of the area to be transformed into a paver patio. The existing area is an awkward 12-foot by 18-foot section behind a shop, where dead grass currently resides due to a removed trampoline. The goal is to create a useful space for a fire pit and seating. The first task is to define the patio's shape, specifically a curved front entrance. This is achieved by using a string tied to a screwdriver inserted into the ground, which is then rotated to scratch a perfect radius onto the grass.
Goal: Define the shape and boundaries of the new paver patio.
Tools and materials
- Screwdriver — Anchoring the string to create a radius point
- String — Marking the curved radius of the patio
