How To: Build a stone patio

Stone patios offer you that perfect balance of beauty and function. They're super sturdy, strong, and can take quite the beating from rain, snow, and everyday wear and tear without getting marred. So if you're considering installing a stone patio in your front yard, save some money by doing it yourself.

You will need a rake, landscape fabric, sand, paver stone, a long board, and a shovel. Stone patios are great places to host a BBQ or an outdoor party.
