This is part of the project I've been updating here, it started with design work last spring and is now the last build of the season. The photo below shows a partially completed stone 'carpet' in the larger patio. What you see is a snapped salt & pepper granite ribbon border, random granite flagstone interior with a detail of 4 x 4 salt & pepper Belgium block. This is obviously before it's been cleaned up.
The stonework is taking a very long time due to the difficulty of working with the granite. It will be fits and starts now due to the weather window closing--rain and cold have dogged us all week long.

Great design and construction detail! I'd love to see a final photo Susan.

What a great idea. I've considered digging up my brick patio and making a carpet-looking pattern out of it. Never seem to get enough enthusiasm to actually do it. Will you post photos of the final project in total?
I will post the project's progress as it moves along. I've had the opportunity to use alot of interesting materials, details and ideas in this one.
Hello Susan;
Please identify the stone materials and mortar used. I would like to keep these textures in my bag of tricks for masonry.
Thanks....Joe
