What happens here

After the patio is complete, finalize the surrounding landscaping. Smooth out the graded soil around the patio and other hardscaped areas using a rake. Spread grass seed evenly over the prepared soil. To protect the seed from erosion and birds, cover it with straw blankets or erosion control netting. Secure the blankets with staples or pins. Finally, install the decorative feature onto its newly built concrete pad. Ensure it is level and securely fastened according to its installation instructions.

Goal: Complete the aesthetic elements of the backyard transformation.
