Labyrinth Progress

J. and I went out this evening and got started on the labyrinth. I'm glad we did because it really helped us figure out how it will (hopefully) work.

 The landscaped areas in our yard have 3/8" decomposed granite for the walking paths and 3/4" mocha for the planted areas.  We were planning to use the same stones for the labyrinth - but had some concerns that the mocha stones were too big for some areas of the labyrinth.   Some areas of the labyrinth are intricate including clover designs at the end of each accent section.

We'd asked the landscaper to get us more small 3/8" stone in a dark color -that stone was going to be delivered on Monday.  But as we started filling in the walking paths with the smaller stone, we realized that two small stones would create  more issues with one area 'bleeding' into another.  

Here are pics in process so far.  


We emailed pics to the landscaper and cancelled the order for the smaller stone.  We let him know it was possible we would need more stones to complete our project but we will know on Monday.  

Free play Saturday for both of us at Atlantis tomorrow.  No more weekend food credits so we'll use comps and possibly go to the buffet for lunch.  Then home and once it cools off a bit, we'll head back out for more work outside.  Hoping between tomorrow and Sunday, we can get a lot done - would love to surprise the work crew by having the project close to completed when they arrive on Monday morning. 

Let me know what you think in the comments, please!
