![]() I have always loved the look of charming pea gravel patios and walkways! I wanted a little bit more defined and purposeful looking space so I’m excited to finally be getting started! On Tuesday we have a truckload of pea gravel being delivered for what will be our new patio for a new DIY fire pit, and a new BBQ! Basically this gravel patio project will provide space to hang out on the cool fall evenings (a rest zone) around a fire pit and a simple but more attractive zone to BBQ (eat) with friends and family! We already set up the basic area for the space we envisioned a couple of years back, but we just used the existing bark dust which wasn’t my favorite. But I don’t like small budgets to stop me from making progress, so I’ve learned to be content with bite sized bits at a time. ![]() I’m working with a pretty small budget and limited time, so the backyard improvements are something that will have to evolve over time. But now I’m starting a new project for the backyard! ![]() I’m excited about that one! But that was about as far as we got, with the exception of a little work in our front yard. Last we talked about my yard, I had done only a little planting in what will eventually be a secret garden (for girls!).
