The area for the patio was scraped out with an excavator that a friend has, lined with driveway cloth, and the concrete pieces were then set in sand so they could be leveled. I put acompost-topsoil mix between the concrete slabs and planted various steppable groundcovers (mostly elfin thyme, wooly thyme, and creeping thyme, but also blue star creeper and som tiny ferny things whose name I don't remember). The project is still under construction, putting a garden border around it, and maybe some paths leading to it....takes a long time when operating between work and school. I have never done anything like this before, so I have to ponder each new stage of construction.
