Newly completed project: integrated wall and flagstone walkway.
Small project, but I every project that I approach is an opportunity to do something different, something new. Possibly even something cool.
The stepping stone path and garden wall, before I did my work. My first decision here was to connect the two, rather than leaving the space between them.
I agreed to take on the job by email and phone, only seeing the job in person months after signing a contract. When I showed up I quickly began to have ideas but even then the project evolved naturally. By day 2 or 3 I decided to do the integration of wall and walkway.

Wall stone and flagstone integration
It’s an idea I’ve explored a few times before, having an inlay move from horizontal structure to vertical one. Going about it this way, actually carving the wall stone so it’s also a paving stone–is something I’ve had in mind for many years.
In the foreground of this photo you can see my second attempt on this jobsite of the integration concept.
I knew I’d also want a third spot, with similar but different “little bits”. Then when I went to fit these two flagstones together, the gap between them created this seed pod-like shape.
Into this space I set some river stones of various colors, collected from nearby.
Some previous examples of the integration concept:
Similar, but different.
The sphere from 2023 is 5′ tall, is built dry, and is integrated into the wall and patio, via a shared inlay moving through all 3.

Most recent sphere, completed in September 2026. It grew from the ground.
