Building a jaw-dropping budget-friendly patio: you won't believe the transformation! 

Pavers with gravel in between are the worst possible choice for a dining area! The chair legs are going to get caught on the edge of the pavers sliding them in and out front the table. I'm a practicing interior designer. My clients would end up and sue me if I recommended this installation. This type of install would be appropriate for an exterior entry (although I would caution clients to be aware of high heel shoes and potential for falls (liability issue). Would also work in an area with lounge seating. I wouldn't recommend this for around a pool because ultimately some gravel will end up on the pavers and be like stepping on Legos barefoot coming out of the pool. I've done a couple homes where we installed large format exterior pavers with artificial turf in between, as well as a driveway with poured concrete in a large grid pattern and installed artificial turf in between.

Loved your area, your fortunate to be able to do this yourself n have help from a partner. Im 67 disabled n would love many things, but don't have anyone to do for me or help me. Nor have the monies to pay someone to do it. But yours looks grand! Personally I would have made it larger and in that area put a lounging area n put the dining area in the bigger part in front of where you made that but it is very nice

It looks fantastic! Well done guys! Great job!

On a budget, like to know what your budget was, and how much was spent, it would give me a better idea of what you consider budget friendly.

Beautiful! Lots of hard work too! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

You two definitely did your homework and it shows!!!! Amazing results....enjoy!!!!!!

Looks lovely but I would be concerned about the gravel with those chair legs. Any issues?

Was waiting for the covering...awning...umbrella or something. Very cute

Looks great but that cost a lot of money and a lot of work!!!

I absolutely Love what you did here, and I would Love to do this. How much did this project cost?

Gorgeous job

How did you encompass the gravelled area? To prevent grass encroaching

Nicely done!!! But far from jaw dropping…bit of a let down. But I do hope you enjoy the space.

So neither channel the guy down pebble rocks and then poured a glue over them(outdoor stuff) and all the rocks actually stuck together and it was weather proof and the rocks never kicked out of the way.

Can you share the tile information as well, please?

Love how it turned out. So fun. I just wonder if you have any problems with the chair legs falling into the spaces

may I ask how much did it cost? without the furniture and decor, just the patio :)

So how much did you spend?

About how much was this? Thanks!

Let's see here. Bags of pea pebbles are about $5 a bag. I counted 13 bags. So, that's $65. Decomposed granite is about $30 for 0.25 cubic feet. I counted 22 bags. So, that's $660. To rent a plate compactor for 4 hours is roughly $70. Paver sand is roughly $5 a bag. Couldn’t see how many bags they had. I saw at least 8. So, that’s $40. A roll of weed barrier is about $40. Gravel is about $6 a bag. She said they used “a dozen or so bags”. That’s $72. So, cost of materials is roughly $947. That doesn’t include the “oversized limestone pavers”. I couldn’t find “oversized limestone pavers” so can’t estimate the cost of those. Then the cost of the furniture. Which wasn’t in their budget because Overstock sponsored the video. Yeah...this is not budget friendly.

If there was a patio cover I would consider this a "build". The furniture was pre-assembled. Nice ground work though.

Good job, but youre not done What's missing is potted trees to define space, a fountain for ambient effect, ambient lighting, and art. Wall art in the form of a photo mural would be marvelous, don't you agree?

We apparently have very different definitions of "budget friendly." It looks great, but it's definitely not budget friendly.

Thats work is low quality and doesnt look good

Junk!!
