It's mostly mortar. I decided it was easier to just mix more than make the levels sane.
Pavers are from an old garden path I lifted.
The professionally done patio has a slightly fucked fall which means water pools slightly in a corner -
client expectations
. * waves *
Our patio is going fairly well, but given we over ordered slabs, plus the slab Co over-delivered, I'm a bit annoyed they didn't sort the rougher slabs so that they either weren't used or used in the less visible parts.
That said these 900x600 slabs are fucking heavy, and we're not paying a premium so begars can't be choosers.
While there isn't a 3"/75mm thick concrete slab, there is a very fat layer of morter underneath so I'm a bit happier about that.
I've also come to terms with the bay going. It was never in the right place and having more room for a table means I'm less worried about pruning our hibiscus as hard.

Actually, that looks absolutely fine and client expectations are why I attempt to get everything perfect (a smidgen of professional pride is involved). Don't expect it to last forever, it won't.
I am just in the process of sorting out the paths into my new home, which I rent, purely to avoid dragging half a sheep fields worth of mud into the house every time I come in. I can't afford me and can't charge the landlord, so compromises have been made. Pictures to follow, if it stays dry enough to complete the job this week.
