Tag: using moss with paver stones
Hot Summer Temps Coming

After a beautiful and fairly cool day yesterday, I looked at the weather for this coming weekend and saw “105” for Saturday and “103” as the high temperature forecast for Sunday! Oh no…
Good thing I’ve had a break to do a little work around the yard. Anyone following the Stucco Series or who has been interested in the paver molds and pavers we’ve made might be interested to see the current phase of the long-running patio project.
Having decided on a pattern for our pavers and having decided that using too many small pavers made the design look too busy, I still thought paver-after-paver just looked a little bland. Fortunately, I have access to a LOT of nice and green, healthy moss. I’m going to use moss around some of the pavers to break the texture a bit and give this 2012 patio a bit of old-world look.
You can see a bit more of our paver pattern here – and that I’m leaving small sections open for moss. I’ll also use the moss like caulk in the event any spacing between pavers ends up a little wider than was planned. I also get to show off my little Bistro table and chairs I just purchased – in the event I ever find time to sit down!
With summer temperatures right around the corner, this area being shady most of the day will make it a great place to hang out and drink morning coffee or read, or in which to just sit and do nothing!
I planted some white lilies just off the new patio area in hopes that sometime while they’re blooming, I’ll have time to sit and enjoy them. They are blooming now and I’m still playing a bit of catch-up, but with this scenery, who cares?
