You did give me an idea about paving stones. There are areas that nothing can grow because of where we walk and they turn to mud in the rain. I'll have to look into it and hope to find something that doesn't look like the same old thing.

Years ago, when I had a small creek with a very steep bank at the back of my very small yard. I leveled the lower bank for a terrace and collected a lot of natural flat stone (Rocks) to do my stone paving and the same for steps I'd cut out to the top of the bank. With a set of white birch and decorative grass at both ends for privacy and a wooden pic-nic table, it was a wonderful little retreat! All it cost me was hard labor.
