Building New Stone Sidewalks

My mother wanted a couple of sidewalks built at their place. We used stone that my brother got from his work. Ben, Brent, my dad and I worked part of the day and made good progress. It still needs some leveling out before mortar is added to set the stones permanently, but we have had a stretch of wet weather recently.

It is like a giant jigsaw puzzle!
After all the stones are set in place we removed each stone one at a time and added or removed dirt to level the top surface with the surrounding stones.
We barely had enough rock to do this small section from the back deck to the garage/workshop.
