Building a Backyard Fire Ring with Cobblestone and Stone Dust Patio

I build a 16' diameter cobblestone-encircled patio to surround my Lowe's fire pit kit. An evening project over two weeks that gives us more outdoor living space!

I’m not a dirt person but this video had me thinking “wow, what nice loam!”

[@OldManofNewEngland]

You obviously ARE a dirt person, Samantha!

How did the stone dust hold up through the winter? Any issues tracking it on your boots/shoes?

Hey Slender James, it's held up very well. Even though it's on a slope, very little has run off during heavy downpours. Just a bit at the bottom end over about 10 cobblestones that I've had to sweep back into the circle. The larger bits do indeed stick to our bare feet. Fortunately, there's a bit of a walk across grass before we're back in the house. Otherwise, it would track into the house. Thanks for watching.
