Rick, i really like the way you have used the pavers, especially along the sidewalk. I use a variety of bricks, pavers, rocks, logs and whatever I can find. Some of the old perennial beds even have ancient rail road ties that were here when we moved in. With a sloping yard and years on the property it has always been what is cheapest, longest lived and available at the time. On one long term project I even purchased landscaping bricks. Almost all have been recycled over time to different areas depending on needs and my whimsical style.
Am currently collecting more bricks to surround my next Huglekultur.
