I DIY'd a brick pad for my trashcans so they stop getting infested with bugs.

First, I'm sorry if this isn't 100% on brand, I know that this is more of a community betterment aimed community, but I wanted to post here because it can be very hard/overwhelming to take on personal improvement projects when you're not sure how to do them. So I was hoping it would help people! Mods if this is too off topic, I 100% am good with you deleting it.

My wife and I have been complaining about how our trash cans keep getting infested with creepy crawlies that that build nests in the wheels out of the plan debris. I had no idea how go best go about fixing this, so I just did it. I bought ten of these 16x16" paver stones, dug downs a little, and used that big ass wood beam thing in the photo as a sort of leveler. Then I backfilled around the edges so they sit fairly flush and won't settle too much. It won't be perfect, but long term we want to replant this area of the yard anyway. Not every solution needs to be the very best or permanent, even if it just helps for a little while, it helps!
