Gravel Patio Extension

Another affordable and DIY-friendly patio extension material is gravel. Seen here, @floralhighground turns her unused side yard into a functional space with a gravel patio extension. Gravel can be shaped to fit any size or shape, making it a versatile material for patio extensions. This one is made with 3/8 in. blue chip gravel, which has a mixture of gray and blue hues for a modern look.

What We Like About It: Gravel patios are cost-effective, costing a fraction of the price of concrete, pavers, and decking.
