You can build a patio for your home without even learning how to build a patio. At any garden or home improvement store, you will find those 'walkway' stones.

Most of the time they come in a large variety of shapes, colors and sizes. You can actually build a patio with these without pouring any cement what so ever. You will just figure how big you want your patio to be.

If you want your patio to be 100 square feet, you would purchase one hundred of the 'walkway' squares. They usually come in one foot squares. This is the easiest way to learn how to build a patio. Once you know what you want and you have your materials, you will want to dig up and level your ground.

You can use a rake and a shovel for this. Use the rake to make the dirt nice and even and then set your stepping stones on the ground and line them up next to each other.

If you want to turn your patio into a perfect square, you will want to make ten rows of ten. Make sure to leave as little space as possible between the stones. Then stomp them down a bit into the dirt that you have raked up.

Make sure your stepping stones are nice and even. Put any extra dirt that you raked away on top of the squares. Even if there isn't much dirt left go ahead and do this anyway.

Spread it out evenly over the squares and sweep it off. This will help fill in any gaps or cracks in the squares. Voila! This is one of the easiest ways to learn how to build a patio ever.
