Here is my design dilemna!

We have a 100' by 150' lot that we want to redo - we have an arbour in the middle with white fencing on either side. I included some pictures I took in all directions from under the arbour.

We just bought a new gazebo and put it in the back, behind the arbour. We currently have 6 gardens - either side of the arbour as shown, one beside the garage, one along the front of the house, one in front of the arbour and on on the north side of the front yard, in front of a tree stump from a 150 year old tree - that had to be cut down after a storm.

We have no money for materials. So we did a search on Freecycle.org last weekend and collected all of the following for free!

We got 60 full-size 14" x 14" grey patio stones and 38 half-size patio stones in red and grey, plus a few cut stones that we got from one person. We had to borrow my son and his truck to move all this.

Then four more trips - two trips to pick up the 200 4" x 6" red bricks in my Chevy Tracker - I was worried about the weight, and we did end up with a flat the next day!

Five buckets and bins of pebbles from another person's walkway, 20 one ft x two ft patio stones from another. Gray concrete edging stone for the garden from yet another person - about 35 ft. worth.

As we were coming back from picking up the edging stone, we spied even more concrete edging stone on the side of the road, this one in red. My hsuband has already used the red edging in the gardens on either side of the arbour.

So now I have most of the materials we need and have to come up with a design to use it all???

I don't have enough of any one kind of patio stones to make a full-size patio under the gazebo, but I think if I combine the red bricks and grey patio slabs I can make it look nice. And I would like some sort of walkway from the back door.

Any ideas you can think of?
