Are the stones just layed over sand and/or gravel?

The stones are set on a fine gravel, not sand. There is a selection of creeping thyme and other low spreading plants placed in the gravel to soften the edges of the stone.

I put down a similar pathway with natural stone, but mine requires more to keep the stones from shifting. Not necessarily polymeric sand, maybe masonry sand?
