It is all relative to the entire property, the house and the yard. Is this a part of the pedestrian circulation or a seating area? Are there utilities adjacent, is it in the front yard and viewed by neighbors, or part of your private space. Is it viewed from the dining/living rooms or just from the bedrooms. Will it be used by tricycles or just feet (no golf shoes please). In my experience, (don't you hate it when someone starts off a sentence in which he offers advice with that phrase), the mondo grass is too large for any pedestrian pavement. There are a large variety of more prostrate plants you can walk on at your garden center, I expect. Some can be walked on daily, and others less often. Some are evergreen, some have attractive flowers, some are into more gray or smoky colors than just green. You can mix them up, just as you do with groundcovers in your plant beds. Enjoy!

Thank you for your advice!! I'm going to go ahead with the advice and relay the existing pavers on concrete bedding. I think I agree that the bluestone would be too dark and doesn't match as well. Thank you!!!

Remember if too light they glare in hot sun light grey with black outdoor lounges &a chairs

We've just had new concrete pavers laid, and the finish was not what we were expecting. It looks as if the paveset/pavelok was not cleared from the paver surface before wetting down (and from what I've read this should be via misting rather than simply hosing down), and the joins were inconsistently filled. We're left with an unsightly mess of off colour pavers and a 'messy' look due to joins. I've tried some scrubbing with a hard bristle yard broom but it hasn't achieved a great deal. Would warm soapy water work or will I need to look at an acid wash? The first photo shows some of the pavers that haven't been affected (well and truly in the minority!) and the colour the pavers are meant to be. And this is what most of the area looks like: The following is an example of the join sanding inconsistencies throughout (the top picture is what I was expecting, the second looks to have been overfilled and not swept properly before watering in). Thanks in advance for any advice.
