DIY Inspiration: Outdoor Patio Idea

May 19, 2013

I look at my yard as an extension of my house.  Complete with all the comforts on what’s inside. Here’s a simple DIY project I put together in less than 10 minutes. 
Along with the comfort comes the maintenance.  Adam purchased a brand new grill last week.  I wanted to come up with an idea to not have to move it off the lawn every time the grass was cut.  It was such a hassle to do last year.
I love patio bricks.  All the creative shapes and colors.  I went for the simple look here.  Picked out twelve of them and placed them in a square. 
They were laid in the grass right after I mowed it.  If you want you could remove some of it to help them settle into the ground a little more.  I figure over the years they’ll do just that along with help from the weight of the grill.
I left enough space that the lawn mower can move comfortably around each side.  And it works like a charm.
Pretty easy!  And it costs less than $25.
