Stepping stone pavers

We finished the stepping stone pavers at the side of the house today. The roadbase had been put down a few weeks ago when we did the retaining wall. We then had to screed a layer of river sand for the pavers to be laid on.



Here's all the pavers laid. We ended up with a few left over as we spaced them more than we originally planned. Better to have too many than not enough, we can always use them elsewhere in the garden.



We then surrounded the pavers with blue metal gravel. This is good for drainage and we quite like the colour of it. We also made a border using some left over block pavers from the driveway.
The area under the window will be a flower bed.



Here it is all finished.

Yes, we have done all the landscaping ourselves so far. We soon realised our budget barely covered the cost for materials and so we didn't have much choice but to do it ourselves. We pretty pleased with our efforts so far and have saved a lot in labour costs.
