**Project:** Backyard Patio Transformation
**Summary:**
* The project began with a blank slate in the backyard, where a previous above-ground pool once stood.
* The creator built and installed massive concrete pavers (9 total, costing $434) to create a patio area, working around local regulations prohibiting large single slabs near property lines.
* The area was then landscaped with palm trees, plants, landscape fabric, and black mulch (total landscaping cost: $1,324).
* Solar-powered lights were added, and pre-existing, refurbished outdoor furniture (from previous DIY projects) was placed in the new patio area.
* The final result is a low-maintenance, transformed backyard space.
* **Total Cost:** $1,758 (plus tax)
* **Future Plans:** Addressing gaps between concrete slabs and potentially adding a shade solution (to be covered in the next video).
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each with a number and in short sentences:
1. **Previous Video**: A previous video showed the creator working on the backyard, building large concrete pavers.
2. **Project Goal**: The current project aims to transform a specific backyard area from start to finish.
3. **Initial State**: The area initially had compact and tight ground due to a previously removed above-ground pool.
4. **Grass Removal**: The creator removed the grass to start with a clean slate.
5.. **Patio Construction**:
* **Paver Design**: Due to city regulations, the creator designed the patio with multiple smaller concrete "pavers" instead of one large slab.
* **Number of Frames**: Three frames were made for the pavers.
* **Construction Method**: Frames were filled with concrete one at a time to manage the project's scale.
6. **Area Preparation**:
* **Digging**: The area was dug down to install the pavers.
* **Pitching**: A pitch was added to direct rainwater towards the property edge.
7. **Landscaping**:
* **Tree Removal**: Trees near the fence were removed.
* **New Tree Planting**: New trees were planted in chosen locations.
* **Landscaping Edging**: Landscape edging was installed.
8. **Weed Prevention**: Landscape fabric was used to minimize weed growth.
9. **Mulch Application**: Black mulch was applied on top of the landscape fabric as a temporary, cost-effective solution.
10. **Final Touches**:
* **Solar Power Lights**: Installed for lighting.
* **Furniture**: Pre-made outdoor furniture (with links to their DIY projects in the video description) was placed in the area.
11. **Project Costs**:
* **Pavers and Related**: $434
* **Landscape (including plants, mulch, etc.)**: $1,324
* **Total (before tax)**: $1,758
12. **Project Completion**:
* **Maintenance Expectations**: The space is expected to be easy to upkeep and maintain, with some potential issues along the edges.
* **Future Plans**: Addressing gaps between the concrete slabs and potentially adding a shade solution in future videos.
