The Glorious DIY Backyard Patio Project.

Before and After

So the last while I've been toiling on my backyard patio project.

After the successes of our front yard project last year, the boss ordered a repeat! We went through countless revisions of the layout and finally arrived at a designed that we can both live with.

In place of shoddy lawn, we now have a new interlock patio that is about 300 sq-ft in size!

As usual, the entire project was photo-blogged on Flickr. Enjoy.

The builder gave us ugly-ass precast concrete steps to our front door. Now that the weather is nice again, we decided to redo the front steps, and also add some pavers to create a small walkway leading up to said new steps.

I don't have all the pictures uploaded yet, will do that soon after the project is done!
