Ed,

It is a beautiful pathway, isn't it! The process
for laying this out depends partially on the area in which it will be
set. Soil, stone, depth, etc play into the base requirements.

However,
the basics are excavating the area to the desired depth, setting your
edging and any sub-base needed, possibly a sand or other base fill.
Laying the stone out also depends on the type and sizes of the stones
you select. Yes, mortar is one way to set the patterns. Due to the
intricate design, it's best to have permanently set. Sometimes, the
stones come in patterns already adhered to mesh, but that will depend on
where you buy the stones.

These designs
incorporate many factors and options. If you would like further
assistance on your project, we would love to hear from you.
