Outdoor Landscaping

Hey guys!!! Today's blog is all about my outdoor patio. I am very happy with the way it turned out and it was not very hard to do. I chose to do a pea gravel patio vs. a traditional concrete patio and I love it.

Our space is 45ft wide and 24ft long (1080 sq ft.) We achieved all of this for less than $400. 

We used 6 cubic feet of peal gravel that covers about 2 inches deep. 

**Tip get your pea gravel from a landscaping store or local nursery. 


Here's what you need to get started:

*Pea Gravel
*Rake
*Landscaping Fabric
​*Yard Cart (it makes transporting the pea gravel a breeze)

The first thing we did was kill our grass. We used spray from our local hardware store.

Picture
We had to stop mid project and order more pea gravel. We were originally going to do a smaller space but we figured go big or GO Home. We really wanted our outdoor space to be a second extension of our home and we wanted to use a lot of outdoor furniture.

This is all the pea gravel down. It really gives us that beauty vibe and we love that.

This is the after!!! Very happy with it.

We painted our sectional black and also changed out the cushions. This sectional has survived two Chicago winters without being covered. This year we plan to use furniture covers because our stain started to peel last year.

I also chose to use an outdoor rug. I think it warms this space up.

I plan to get rid of this table and build an 8 foot table out here.

Thanks so much for checking this project out. I have one more outdoor blog coming soon!

Let me know if this is something that you would do to your yard??

XOXO,

Lucky are those homeowners who have huge spaces outside their houses. This is because they can do anything they want; whether they want to make it as their garden or  have an outdoor landscape and do anything they want. It was a good thing that you made use of your space really well. It was a smart move that the yard was well- designed! I am sure that your neighbors felt envious after seeing what you did on your open space!

Das Design ist robust, aber stilvoll. Es liegt gut in der Hand und macht auch optisch einen starken Eindruck. Besonders praktisch bei längerer Nutzung.

If you want your hair done right, go to the Naples hair salon. The staff is well-trained, and the environment is both elegant and relaxed. My experience there has been nothing short of wonderful.

A trusted Las Vegas Realtor brings more than listings—they offer guidance, negotiation skills, and local market trends. From day one, I felt supported and informed. Highly recommend reaching out to one if you're serious about real estate in Vegas.
