I was shocked. Laying the base took them from 8 AM until 4:36 PM. You can tell I was taking photos and they do show the time! "Intense" is putting it mildly! I had no idea this much work could go into the path. Now they're cutting pavers to fit the gaps, as I sit in my pajamas! I don't know the technical name of this pounder item that the guy is using here but they used it for a long time and many times. I'm impressed.

Love your detail, Jo Ann. It's a shame it didn't work out perfectly but I am glad you can live with it. I don't need "perfect" when it comes to using my ideas. There's something so personal about anything beautiful that we can create that I'd be thrilled with what you designed!

Could you get your contractor to create a stepping stone flower out of extras? With just one "landing pad" type of stepping stone, it just might be possible to form it up so it will withstand the weather. Doesn't cost anything to ask.
