The most time consuming part is picking out stones that will work and loading and unloading. Everything was done by hand. Pm’d Thanks. ---

I dug out for each specific stone, less about 3-4 inches. I used a tamper on the dirt and leveled it off, then added paver base / gravel and again tampered and leveled off. They are slightly graded down to shed water. I expect some movement, but it seems pretty solid. Most of the stones were 120-140 lbs. ---

Looks really nice. This is the kind of thing I pay people to do because I’d suck at it.
