My backyard. Step 3


DIG. Step three includes lots of digging. Dig out all the areas where you intend to put in bricks. Remember that you have already dug out all the grass so that you have moved all this soil once already. Don't feel bad that you will have to move it again to get it out of your way when you are done with the next step, that's days away.

The area needs to be about 8 - 10 inches deep for the gravel and sand. They will allow the water to properly drain off the patio when the monsoon season starts again. This part of the process takes another two to three days. Try not to think about playing golf while you are digging.

Speaking of golf: it's a fact that ducks like to swim around on golf course ponds. If you properly place your shot you may be able to hit a duck in the middle of a lake or pond. If you miss it's a one stroke penalty. But if you make the shot it's worth it.
