STEP 10: BACKFILL & FINISH NEW PATIO DESIGN
Since your new patio is by nature of a higher elevation than your old concrete slab you must address
the now exposed edge. There are a few ways to do so.
The first is to back fill the area with topsoil that slowly tapers away from the patio. You can then plant
grass seed in the top soil and have a finished yard right up to your new patio.

The second option is to install a short
retaining or edger stone some distance
from the edge of your patio and install
mulch in the area in-between to use as a
planting bed to further enhance you project.
