The Yard Transformation Continues...A Path and a Patio

Wow, nice job you did out there @jorlauski. You guys are really hardworking and creative. From the beginning of the project it looked impossible('cos I felt it's supposed to be done by professional(s) only), but it turned out great.
Yea, the dog is at the top right corner of the picture... I guess it doesn't even know what's going on 'cos it looks like it's sleeping,lolzzz.

With this work here, a novice can follow the steps and come out with same result or even better. I think I can use the steps and come out with something good also,'cos I'm a novice. #smiles

I have a #question though. In the final part, you sprayed water to hold them all together and make it shine. Won't the pavers move out of place if wrongly stepped on? #suggestion: Don't you think mixing the sand that was used with cement will be better and hold them together longer?

Weldone, looking forward to seeing the next step in your DIY post.

Hi @Amoni - thank you for the feedback - I think if a professional looked it this they would laugh ..we are not pros by any means - but we have landscaped a lot of yards ( our own yards .. not as a business) the work is pretty easy - it's coming up with the designs and the layout that take more thinking - the dogs love to hang out in the yard with us when we work - as far as the sand and cement - thanks for the suggestion - there is actually a sand compound called "joining sand" that helps to bind the stones together better - so far - we have done this a few times using just sand and the rocks never come loose - it seems like sand would not hold them together tightly - but it really does - the last one we did has lasted over 7 years so far and they are SOLID - we did however think about using some cement dust in the pea gravel that we laid down ( no pictures of that posted yet) to make it more solid - thanks for checking out my blog - I hope you come back to follow up with the updates.
