This post is sponsored by Worx. All opinions are my own.Our backyard has been a project from day 1 of moving into this house. I'm happy to report that we are almost to the finish line. One of the last DIY’s we finished for this outdoor space was adding a gravel patio with solar string lights. Who would have thought that a little rock could make such a difference! I've always wanted pretty string lights and I can't wait to share my new lighted gravel patio plus an awesome robotic Worx lawn mower that automates our yard maintenance! Let's rewind and look at our backyard right after we moved in.
Our backyard BEFORE the gravel patio
You see the space next to the porch with the grinder pump well? That's the space I'll be transforming into a gravel patio.
DIY grinder pump table
A few months ago, in an effort to hide that round thing in the ground, I made a DIY outdoor table to hide the ugly grinder pump well. I couldn't think of anything else that was removable to cover up that unsightly round thing in the ground. It works well to hide the well, but the rest of the area still needed a facelift. That's where the DIY gravel patio with solar string lights come in!
1) Install post for the solar string lights
Since I wanted to add the string lights, I knew I needed to find something to attach it to. I thought if I added another 4 by 4 post and attached the lights from it to the roof that would look nice.How do you hang string lights in an open outdoor area? Installing large posts like 4 by 4's and stringing the lights from the top works well. We used concrete to secure the post in the ground. Then I painted the post white to match the rest of the posts on the porch.
2) Attach screws to the side of the house for solar lights

DIY String Light Planters Tutorial
FYI: The cost depends on how many planters you’d like. When we did this project, the planters were $20, posts were $15, bag of concrete $4 (about 2 planters worth), bag of rock $3/bag, planter hangers $8. The lights were $50 off Amazon and we used 2 for the entire patio. We had the scrap wood for the forms, the stain, and potting soil. Then you decide the type and therefore the cost of your flowers.
