Our stepping stones
Flagstone pieces can be used like broken concrete pieces when installing pathways and patios, we like to use an irregular random pattern, in between the spaces we can use gravel, mortar, or just plain dirt so that eventually grass will grow up between the spaces.

Meandering path: These paths were built using three tons of broken flag stone. Its foundation is four inches of modified, crushed, stone, pressure tamped for stability. Each stone is carefully puzzled in, producing a natural and strikingly beautiful appearance. Border beds of hosta, ferns, or any flower suitable for season and climate provide visual contrast for the stones. These paths can be bordered with variegated hosta.

"How can man be possessed of kindness who, to increase his own flesh, eats the flesh of other creatures. As those possess no property who do not take care of it, so those possess no kindness who feed on flesh." "Like the (murderous) mind of him who carries a weapon (in his hand), the mind of him who feasts with pleasure on the body of another (creature), has no regard for goodness." "Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator."
-Red Indian Chief (1854)
