No, we haven't built an alien spaceship pad in the middle of our backyard (although the neighbors might think we have). On Saturday we bought loam to fill in the back yard (went the cheap route and headed for Lowe's) along with some grass seed. While we were there, I noted that the patio bricks were on sale (end of season) for 20% off regular price. I had pretty much scrapped the idea of a labyrinth, thinking it too complicated and unnecessary, but then priced the least expensive patio "brick" and thought, why not? So I went home and came up with the simplest design I could imagine, counted up the bricks needed, and went back and bought enough plus a couple extra in case of future breakage. The preliminary result is below:
Part of me thinks it might be too uncomplicated, but we haven't filled it in yet just to see if it needs tweaking before we finish with loam and grass seed on the outside and mulch on the inside. That is next weekend's project. Meanwhile I'll probably keep looking at it to be certain it's perfect. Once it's been set it won't be easy to move or adjust.
