Ideas: Patio

This project here pretty much exemplifies how I want to do our future backyard patio. This particular one is for a garden path, but I'm sure it would work as a patio with just a few changes.

Obviously we'd need to make it wider, which would be no problem. Also, I'm thinking that, although flagstone is lovely, we might use stepping-stone tile things, like this:

The process is pretty simple. Lay down weed-block fabric:

Then dump some sand on there, get it wet, and press it down:

Place the stepping downs down in the sand where you want them:

Then, fill in the gaps with some fine gravel:

Shouldn't be too complicated, right?

I'm really excited at the idea of finishing this over the summer...maybe even sooner. It's all of matter of how much funding we can dedicate to the yard, you know? Anyway, just some thoughts.
