Easy DIY Pea Gravel Patio

[@BoredorBananas]

I love the way your patio sits under your tree. So much character!

[@sharonoleary895]

Thank you, you have inspired me to have a go. I’m a single parent on a very low income and no support but I think I could do this. So want to have a lovely garden to sit and admire.

[@sherriblake6887]

Your home and gardens are enchanting. You even look like Cinderella!

[@marciamellow1211]

Ahhhhh...

[@chasingthelook]

This seems like such a wonderful low maintenance option! Even a simple concrete patio needs power washing, and I think this looks more charming anyway!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so much! It really is! :)

[@BubblesandDucks]

I just realized you can buy all of Andrea's art work on her website. I bought every single painting. The prices are amazingly inexpensive for something I can use as sets. So excited to get them printed.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Ohhhh my word THANK YOU!!! :) That means so much!! :)

[@BubblesandDucks]

@@PineandProspectHome Please keep creating. Its good for the soul and the wallet

[@vivaldi1236]

Totally knockout. Having lived in England for some years...you captured the essence of The Cotswolds. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@PineandProspectHome]

Well that has got to be the BEST compliment ever haha!!! Thank you!! :)

[@linnsamnew8534]

💐Andrea, 🌿Your patio area is a gorgeous and serene. 🍃Anytime you can do a project and save money plus have a patio area look like yours is awesome. 🌱Well done ~ it's just beautiful. 👒 Hats off to you and your husband. 🌿Thank you again for sharing ~ 🙋🏼 🇨🇦

[@sharoncarter8237]

You've inspired me and helped me to see my gravel backyard from a new point of view. Now, I plan to refresh the gravel and to follow your advice to install a border to keep it contained. I look forward to building my "oasis."

[@RobinJohnsonDecor]

I love pea gravel too. Your outdoor space is so functional and peaceful looking. Thank you so much for joining the summer home tour.

[@quaintavlog]

We just installed our pea gravel last monday...and me and my husband cant think of how we can hide the liner on the side, now we know what to do. Thanks to you!!!!

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yay!! Oh that makes me so happy! :)

[@yolandamarshall872]

Beautiful patio. Thanks for the great tips. You little son is so precious in the hammock. Take care.

[@doloresramirez3289]

Beautiful and peaceful area. Yes, everything takes time and work but end results worth it. God bless.🙏

[@PineandProspectHome]

Yes, I couldn't agree more Dolores!! :)

[@littleluluscraps]

Cottage gardens...yes please, Love all of it!!! If I could get fieldstone around here for free, I'd be all over that whole idea!!! If you ever get a chance to buy pineapple sage or chocolate mint your kiddos will love them! They smell delicious (just a brush by is heavenly) and they are edible. Fun, fun, fun, lol. Looks like all you need now is a fire pit for smores :) tfs, Laura

[@erdz9806]

Your patio area is simple but soo adorable. I love everything you've done inside and outside of your home.❤️

[@lorettacarlson1779]

I love the simplicity of your outside patio.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you Loretta!! :)

Hello from California. I’m new to your channel but am subscribing because I love your humbleness and sweetness. Keep them coming.👍🏼

[@micheleagren1604]

I have been blessed to go to the UK five times. You would love it there, everything is exceptional, romantic and wonderful. Bring your paints.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh my word how amazing!!! Yes, one day I will visit! :)

[@cindybrown1356]

It’s so beautiful, Andrea! You’re so creative, and hardworking. I love Greenfield Village, such a wonderful place! Sending love from my corner of Michigan....💙💛💙

[@meliss36]

Oh my, don’t be concerned about that ray of sun shining on your beautiful face! I think your patio is cozy and adorable.

[@michaelmercurio2312]

Beautiful, and the sun on your face was just as beautiful.

[@bjohnson1149]

I agree. Don't apologize. Filming outside is quite dependent on the position of the sun. That's not something anybody can control. If someone is distracted by that little bit of light they just need to move on. Just saying'!

[@angelabrown2657]

I've been binge watching your videos, your home and gardens are beautiful, I live in England and when you mentioned various mints you are planting, I highly recommend lemon balm (lemon mint) brush by it or rub the leaves and you will love the lemon fragrance surrounding you . I've subscribed thankyou for inspiring me 🌺🌿

[@gailfails8819]

I love it!!! Peagravel feels so good under my feet!!

[@vbbent]

Does it get hot?

[@gailfails8819]

It's been years since we've had it but I don't remember it getting hot.

[@kathierogers3208]

The weathered look on the table suits the decor.

[@kcbvids]

Weeds will always show up! Every year there are enough tiny bits of soil and dust and pollen to grow a few weeds. Yearly weeding is needed even if you spend more on the expensive liner. Low maintenance, is what we have found, not zero maintenance. Such a lovely home and garden! love your channel! Blessings from Oregon, Christine

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so so much!! :)

[@victoriaschuler5861]

Love it. I will say with three young boys it does get everywhere. The rocks along the edge is very smart to avoid it getting in to the grass and looks pretty too. I could see a thin bed of flowers wrapped around it to avoid overspill one to the lawn!

[@rose.g.belfort71]

Hi Andrea, it has been beautiful. The work that her husband has done with the stones is very amazing. Along with the arrangement of the shed and the plants that it renovated after winter, it is a wonderful patio. Your children are adorable helping out in the flower beds and they will really enjoy this beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. Much love and blessings ❤🌹

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you so so much, you are so kind! :)

[@kpayne4633]

Your patio is so Beautiful and Peaceful I’ve scoured a lot of videos and I really love yours! Thank you for the background of pea gravel , I’d wondered how it felt barefooted.Your spirit is Absolutely beautiful too! God Bless you and thank you for sharing!

[@ruthgoddard6539]

So pretty. Love cottage style and have thought of putting in a pea gravel area.you yard is so cozy and looks just like a little cottage in the country

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww Ruth thank you SO much!! :)

[@mendyhand3895]

So many great tips. I agree, save your money and get best quality! Thrift when you can with the things that aren’t as much work to make a cottage feel..I’m older. And I’m glad for the quality hard work, and the quality pieces and projects that my husband and I have put into our home over the past 25 years. I still have to have a screened in porch too though! We live in Georgia! Lots of humidity, and lots of mosquitos! Great video! ❤️🙏🏻🌿

[@diymomma5247]

I love this video, thank you for talking about your pea gravel patio! We are moving in less than two weeks, and you’ve inspired me to try this same look for our next yard! Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos! 💐😊

[@barbbirdyard]

I too love gravel. Reminds me of France and England.

[@gracielaleon4543]

What a perfect ,cheaper and beautiful solution, just what I was trying to found.

[@barbara-dj1uo]

Loooove the patio! You don’t know how lucky you are to get the field stone. It’s hard to find at landscape companies and it’s very expensive.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Everything so pretty, I love stones. We use them in our back yard too. Free field stones are the best. tfs Glad to join in with you

[@57eleven1]

What a beautiful face to be highlighted by the sun! I think it worked out perfectly! Just thought I’d mention that. Now, I can watch the video

[@katbrax8622]

The peagravel looks like it would be cool and slip resistant under your feet. Gorgeous outdoor space.

[@GentleThriftyMama]

The sun looks lovely shining one your face ☺️ What a beautiful outdoor space.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Oh that is so sweet!! :)

[@BluebirdHomeAndDIY]

The cottage at the Village is very pretty in September, too. The flowers are so colorful and beautiful. You can also see this home decorated as a WWII Red Cross Hospitality center for American Soldiers in Britain during their Holiday Nights events at Christmas time. I don't know if they will have the event this year? They are not even open until next month right now. Your patio turned out nicely!

[@tammyleer9268]

[@deborahbender5333]

Another Beautiful video. I really do love the idea of the gravel. To Mark small areas in your yard for conversation, and having a cool lunch. And fresh air. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm renting this house I would be doing that. LOL thank you once again for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww Deborah you are so sweet! Yes, with pea gravel you can really get creative! :)

I love the look of pea gravel too! Our design tastes are similar!! We did the window pane idea that you created. We turned our modern patio doors into farmhouse style! We love it!! Thanks!

[@christinetullmann3532]

Hello from Missouri! We just completed our pea gravel patio and love it. Thank you for the tour and for future improvement ideas including lights, planting pockets, and rock border. Your space is magical 🌺!

[@floweringacre3079]

I also love pea gravel and have used it extensively in my garden. On paths and on a patio area. I used the best landscape fabric and still had problems with weeds. I remedied my problem with Preen. One application, no weeds. I think my problem stems from the fact our garden is on a slope and we get lots of water runoff and some washing from flower beds. Overall, I am very pleased and the Preen solved my problem.

[@nancybrower8608]

I love it. So relaxing. I could almost taste the tea.

[@PineandProspectHome]

Aww haha thank you!!

[@corlisslopes7386]

[@j.darrel517]

So beautiful. And don't feel badly about having to redo a few things because you tried to save money early on, we have all done that. At 60 years old I am still doing, you would think I have learned my lesson. Haha. this is so beautiful and it's was so sweet to see your baby on the great job, and you are so lucky to get all of that fieldstone free, that would cost a small fortune. Enjoy your patio

Andrea - Beautiful, relaxing, cottage backyard/ garden. I can see it in a Thomas Kincaid painting. Just lovely. You two have made your home and yards an English cottage oasis. I remember that cottage from Greenfield from a school field trip with my daughter. What a fun and interesting place. Have a lovely weekend Andrea! Blessings - Judith

[@ozarkview928]

Love the simplicity! Your veggies will do better with full sun though ☺️

[@barbaracarbone4658]

I was wondering about those little rocks..lol. I was thinking of having some kind of easy-to-walk-on gravel Instead of a wooden deck. I wanted to save money but I wasn't even sure if the pea gravel was less or more than a wooden deck. Now I know! Lol. Thanks much. It looks so beautiful and peaceful.

[@brendaharbin6598]

Do u have a lot of leaves to fall on ur pea gravel?? And how do u handle that ?? It’s beautiful

[@susandudley171]

I have the same question.. very nice yard you have created..

[@cherinadaboss1]

I’m so glad someone asked this question

[@2Ryled]

@@susandudley171 this is an old vid about pea gravel. I have a tree that I'd 20ft from the gravel. It deposits leaves on the gravel. You rake it up and out it in a trash container. Just take care not to rake to deep. I just cleaned my area up. The few leaves left break down over summer. My pea gravel gets blown out of the area I have it. I wish I got a locking system with sand or the plastic honeycomb to keep it there.

[@WynterGirl444]

We have a similar design we blow the leaves off with a leaf blower

[@kristinabarkolova8281]

Hi, did you remove grass or did you lay the fabric on top of it. It looks great

[@r.cattaneo2178]

Amazing videos.. Just stumbled across them .you seem like an incredible woman.. Very talented.. Watch your announcement video..you have an incredible talent as an artist.. Keep up the good work..

[@susanperry6538]

Put something like Thompson Weather Sealer on you table to preserve the wood....can always sand it before so no splitters for your boys and bring the natural fresh (pine) wood color back. Good !uck!

[@futbol1972]

I have a nice big yard with space on the side too. The side yard it's just sitting there looking boring..I want to use that space too..the side yard has a slope which iam thinking of removing or adding dirt to level. After that iam gonna lay down concrete to use that space too. However, now iam debating between gravel and concrete for the side yard space ( 15ft from house to fence and 60ft long.)...my only concern is gravel getting stuck under shoes and bringing it into the house...I have very nice plank vinyl flooring.. we won't be taking shoes off to go into house.

[@michaelnino5082]

[@Krystle161]

Beautiful Patio! Great job! One concern I've had with pea gravel is whether or not it's hard to maintain under a large tree. I imagine i would need to use a leaf blower often. Does the pea gravel move? Has it been easy to keep clean the last 2 years? Thanks!
