PATIO WOES

Our patio doubled as a large puddle every time the snow melted and each time it rained, and during the winter, that puddle would freeze and turn into an ice skating rink that visitors would always slip on. We decided it was time to take up the stones and put sand under them for drainage and leveling. So we did.

Here are the before and after photos of the patio transformation.

And the best part is, it drains!!!! No more icy, wet patio.
