crazy paving-Crazy paving ideas to inspire a garden makeover
As landscaping trends move away from manicured, minimalist and formal styles towards something more rambling and whimsical, crazy pavers (also known as flagstone pavers) are gaining ground. Unlike pavers that are uniform in size and shape, crazy paving refers to stone that is cut in irregular, asymmetrical pieces and laid in a mosaic-like fashion. The concept of flagstone paving was born out of a desire to use up otherwise wasted off cuts and broken pieces during the installation of larger cut stone and outdoor pavers.WATCH: Charlie Albone explains the basics of landscapingAward-winning landscape and interior designer Adam Robinson is a fan, saying crazy paving “provides a more organic approach to paving. I find it works especially well in areas where we don’t have a lot of room for planting and softness, but you still want an organic garden feel.”
