I've grown to regret my paving choices over time. I didn't realize when I built the patio how often I would come home from work in heels, head straight outside with the dogs, and end up with scuffed shoes from sinking between the cracks of the paving stones. When I have the time/money to do it over again, I'll be using flat stones that fit together nice and snug. It seems the rule is, I always have to re-do my hardscaping at least once before getting it right.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1587552735012220601.post-83503355916511904842010-07-28T12:14:59.937-07:002010-07-28T12:14:59.937-07:00Interesting!
