Hello all,

I' a homeowner but I live in a residential area where the HOA won't allow us to build any permanent patio structures, everything has to be able to be pulled up when we leave. So I'm thinking about just throwing down some large paver stones out back. But I'm wondering if there is anything I should watch out for? The back yard right now is just filled with debris from the previous owners and high weeds.

I want a 16x16 stone patio

With 4 left over for a small garden

I have a small concrete slab out back my french door

I have a sewage/some type of plumbing pipe about 4 inches out the ground

And when it pours, I have a seeping water issue

I want to use the space for outdoor grilling and fun with my son. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.
