Leveling and preparing the ground for a patio swing in the yard

We're looking at getting a patio swing to put out in the back yard. I'm fairly green when it comes to outdoor projects, but have a sense that I should. Find a mostly level portion of the yard for obvious reasons, and Put something under it to keep it from sinking I'm trying to find the perfect balance between something that will get the job done, but isn't a huge install. I don't care about looks, I don't care about longevity, and I don't care about perfection. Is there a level up from "buying four concrete pavers and placing them under each corner of the swing" that I should consider that isn't a multi-day project for a noob? I don't think I'm up for leveling, and laying a whole patio section? Or is doing that not a big deal? Insight, instruction, or youtube recommendations welcome! submitted by /u/maplebirchpineoak [link] [comments]
