Outdoor play area

Step 1: Dig out access dirt a few inches below ground level.

(You can put edging in now or wait for step 4)

I dug about 6-8" down.

Step 2: Rake flat - make sure ground is even.

Step 3: Lay plastic 

(slice small holes - You don't want to end up with a swimming pool!)

Step 4: Install edging 

(If you're smart you'll do it here)

Step 5: Dump pea stone, wood chips or rubber chips and rake even.
