But we do have a problem
unless we're giants who want a totally flagstone paved courtyard.

******************

I complained when I saw this, but the only member of our landscape planting team, who speaks English, didn't seem to understand my problem.

Where do the plants go? And how do I JUMP from stone to stone? I don't have a giant's stride. This is horrible!!! And ugly!

Hopefully, it will rain tomorrow to temporarily halt more work. I won't be around tomorrow to supervise whatever is going on here in the courtyard. I need to talk to the landscape designer and get this situation corrected. Or at least, I need for him to explain to me what is happening. Maybe I'm misinterpreting things. But at the moment, this is very odd.
