VoodooChile is on a distinguished road
Technically, I am certain that this patio was installed well, and will last for many years. This I owe to GTX mostly, and Unilock's regional rep. who answered my pleas for assistance rapidly.

Aesthetically, I dislike the color-- Sandstone-- of the pavers; not at all what I thought I was getting from the product brochures. Secondly, the curve in the path is too tight, and needs at least another course or two. Small consolation that the perennials will fill in and soften the edges.

Ultimately, the client was thrilled, so I shouldn't complain too much, except of course being the first ever paver patio we installed, we didn't make a dime.

Still, I am excited about the potential for this product (pavers), and a crew to install them with minimal manual labor input from me.

Pavers have so many pluses over flagstone, and the newer colors and patterns dovetail nicely with the natural landscaping niche we've carved for ourselves.

Good Luck Crazygator, and be sure to do a "pavers" search through the GTX archive for a load of great advice.
