Patio Makeover On A Budget🪴

[@alicethomas6472]

Your husband did a remarkable job all by himself. Wow! This is exactly what I need. A deck is nice but you have to protect it from the weather & that can be costly upkeep. Your place looks so nice & cozy. Tell your husband great job! Hopefully it will inspire & motivate my husband! Take care & God bless! 🙏

hi lady, if you need to brake things up use dexpan it breaks up concrete. Let it set for 24 hours, it brakes within 2 hours and it's so much easier than a jack hammer. I done it on my stairs and oh my God I'm in love with this stuff. Looks very nice.

[@td8866]

I just have to say the weightlifting your hubby does is really beneficial. This type of work isn’t for the weak bodied. Damn, Thomas, you are impressive!

[@tamiperkins-trickett2794]

Major workout + sun tan + kid giggles + patio furniture = Beautiful Patio.

[@sweetcoconut4207]

Amazing and BEAUTIFUL!

[@deecasey6893]

It turned out beautiful

[@kellyfriess5217]

The fence was worth every dime. Privacy is key to any yard. Your yard looks fabulous.

[@AJ8828]

Oh my, so beautiful! Way to go, yet again, Hughes family!!!

[@jannibal9273]

Oh my goodness. I know it's not inexpensive to rent a machine compactor but honestly, that would have saved your husband a lot of time and hard labor, especially after the unfortunate "surprise" of the concrete sections underneath the deck he tore up! The stone you found on Marketplace is gorgeous, and such a deal too. It turned our beautifully, your husband took his time to match edges up and had a nice tight pattern of the stone, which will help it stay together in the future. You might want to consider some kind of stake-in edging around the perimeter of the patio to help keep it in place in the future. It turned out beautifully and you won't have to worry about falling through an area of rotted wood any more!

[@madzabinga8382]

You two always make everything look so easy! I am sure this was super labor intensive. It looks beautiful!!

[@ashleyhuze]

❤️❤️❤️ Thomas said this was definitely the most labor intense project he’s ever done!! Mostly with the moving and unloading the whole removal part of the deck!😩 but we LOVE this area now! So glad it’s done!!😍🪴

[@genniejefferson6588]

Absolute love the style of your home. Husband did wonderful job.

[@paulalang1023]

[@tanyaslater9604]

Just discovered you guys. Love what you do. I can only imagine how much you've increased the value of your home. You both have talent and compliment each other. Work ethic is commendable.

[@novamom1962]

Absolutely beautiful. !!!! Your hubby did a awesome job !

[@wendyreid2458]

Such a great patio makeover 4 your fam. R&R

[@seanc6468]

I'm like you guys, I'm not a fan of large wooden decks or huge areas of concrete. The organic and natural look are very peaceful and can make a good eco friendly environment. I built a pergola and a low fence made from pallets and I used pea gravel and broken sidewalk chunks i got from the street construction my city did. It has hanging plants and climbing ones too. Chimney fire place and seating.

[@lariegonzalez3631]

Simply amazing 🤩

[@amandamccormick2214]

Beautiful!!! I watch you guys on repeat daily when I have free time. I love what you do and how real you are and you’re a beautiful family! Don’t ever stop being you and going what you do! You have helped me through some dark days and I’m so thankful to have you guys to watch when I need a pick me up!

[@sharonclarke8683]

You two can make the ugliest house and yard into a beautiful oasis. I absolutely love everything y'all did. Great job guys.

[@ashleyhuze]

Aww thank you Mrs. alma!! You’re the sweetest!!🤍🤍🤍

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@ashleyhuze you're so very welcome. Thank you Ashley. Please keep us in your prayers. Our air condition broke last month and we found out the whole thing needs replacing. We live on an extremely extremely tight budget. My hubby is on oxygen and we're trying to make do with a window unit and a few fans.

[@natvtxn1213]

This turned out so beautiful! If you two don't slow down, there won't be any projects left for your teenagers to help out with, except to mow the lawn! We built our son's a 2-story fort with a trap entry door and a zip line off the upstairs balcony. One requested a moat. Ha!

[@ashleyhuze]

Thank you so much!! That sounds like my kids dream! How fun!! We’d love to do something like that in our backyard!!🙌🏻💙

[@andykrepsky802]

This is a favorite of mine! More around the garden idea videos please! BEAUTIFUL!

[@ashleyhuze]

He really is!! This was a huge undertaking for one person and he did such a great job!! We’re excited to spend every night out here!😍🙏🏻

[@dwynn57]

looks really great! I love outdoor seating! we have 2 firepits as well, a large one that is in the middle of a circle of cedar trees in our backyard and a much smaller one in our front yard on our patio, it is metal but we actually use that one alot more than the large one now. thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@lukeminor6272]

Love love love it! So much better than the old deck and much less maintenance in the long run! I love that you robbed plants from other spaces. We do it at my house all the time it's a great budget saver! Love the privacy with the fence as well! Job well done!

[@ashleyhuze]

Thank you so much!!!🙏🏻🤍

[@amma3536]

Nice.

[@DavidOwenCreates]

It came out beautiful!!!! I love. So serene! Is mowing the grass hard to do in that section? Also I wasn't sure why you had to remove the concrete under the dirt Was it because you had to dig lower to add I'm these flag stone pieces so it was level?

[@allucinatex2002]

First step: have a husband who will do all the work! LOL mine doesn't want to do anything like this with me haahaha

[@spartanchirho]

We are about to do something almost exactly the same with pea gravel. But has anyone used Vuba resin? It's like a laqer that seals the gravel.

[@ashleyhuze]

We wish we would have done that!!

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

I love the deck❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, however when did Ezra get so tall!!!!!!!!! I loved that the kiddos were outside helping. Thank you for sharing this awesome project one question do you guys have many bugs in your area? Here in Florida we have quite a few so we have to stay inside a screened pario❤️❤️

[@ashleyhuze]

Thank you so much Sheila!!!🤍🤍 We don’t get many bugs where we live thank goodness!! If you go west even a few miles though it’s FULL of mosquitoes! We lucked out in our area!!🙌🏻
