This is a really evocative post Bill, and it sounds like its gonna be an amazing project.
I think incorporating the stone into the patio is brilliant. This place must inspire humility, and the stone reminds the people who get to enjoy it that we are all really just guests in God's country.
And yeah, run the pattern right into the stone, without the soldier course. I think the soldier course would just make the boulder look like it was in a planter, which is pretty silly, considering their mass and presence.
And in the areas without granite, I not sure that simply stopping the pattern without the soldier would look finished enough. But maybe it could work... Given the awe it sounds like this place inspires, I doubt anyone would notice the soldier, and calling attention to the edge treatment by not using it, would just distract.
Looking forward to the pictures.
And hey, can you guess what the Lake Geneva locals call Old Style?
