Garden path
-
Remember the formal garden?
I finally got around to having a mason put in a garden path in the middle of it.
The near end of this section was 8 inches too high.
So, I picked it up. The cobblestone is back on the pallet.
Next I'll pick up the base and make one end 8 inches lower. The base includes a layer of foam (pictured), sand layer, gravel layer and a stone restraint around the edge.
I found out last night that polymeric sand contains a binding agent that forms a solid joint. I thought it was just fine sand.
That made removal a chore.
Why not have the mason come back and fix it? I like a challenge. Temperature in the 40s with some wind.
This could take weeks. A nice hobby for winter.

Copper, I wish you'd asked about the polymeric sand. I'd have given you a heads up about it. It's great for brick mowing edges, but not so much for your project.
