Mackenzie Austin Design I cringe at the thought of pesticides...some great alternative ideas here. My own patio has something like what decoenthusiaste mentioned. It's been 5 years and no weeds yet. Also, if the pavers aren't in yet I'm with Margery, it's all about laying the proper foundation first.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Houzz Landscape Tour: Back Bay Retreat
The fingers of water that drain into the bay are drawn into the hardscape through the use of dark Mexican pebbles that fill the joints between the flagstone.
added by Lauren Bonar Swezey to Permeable Paving Soaks Up Rain
Black gravel set between sandstone-colored flagstones adds contrast to the paving design.

I like the size of the stone, and the gravel though May be I'd like it in a finer grind and different color? Here it ends in a smooth straight line into the flower bed; I want an IRREGULAR, jagged line
