Your pavers, copings and moldings are installed, the pool and the patio are complete.
Why not consider Stepping Stones for the driveway and garden?
It a great way to tie everything together and make it uniquely yours.
Let your driveway and walk way work together.
Matching stepping stones can add a whole new dimension and unique curb appeal.
Stepping stones are a nice path directly to the pool so your guest can cool off.
Add another path leading to your back or side door for cleanup or winter warmth.
Natural Stone especially travertine pavers can be cut into all shapes and sizes. 
Mosaics can work great in the garden area for a more decorative options.
You can alternate the size of the stepping stones to add variation and interest.
Leave out the uniform pattern as another way to make different size stones your own unique design.

Garden Tiling with the use of stepping stones can become part of the scenery.
Space your tiles well enough so patches of grass can be added in-between them.
It will come together beautifully.
The effect will be an appearance of the stones being interrupted by the garden, very cool effect!

Stepping Stones Suggestions:

Cut out the center of you stepping stone and let grass protrude through it.
Use pavers and space them to add pebbles around it for a rock garden effect.
Place stepping stones in a straight line or variegate the pattern. Lay them close together or separate.
If you decide to lay them separate make sure to consider the distance in-between for a comfortable stroll you don’t want your guest jumping from stone to stone.
Try mosaics off to the side for accent or decorative effect and don’t allow your stepping stone to be stepped on?!
Mix it up use various shades, colors and shapes on one path. Round or square stones can be used in the same size and laid at equal distance to bring symmetry to your project if that is your preference.
Inscribe your stones or have your family paint and personalize them.
Even use various stones together in smaller sizes to create one “step”.

Stepping stone path can lead to an unexpected retreat

The stepping stone path will  lead you to an unexpected retreat like your pond, rock garden, hidden pool, shaded benches, mini petting area, playground for little ones or even a little nature preserve.
The possibilities are only limited by your desire and imagination.
If you happen to have any shallow body of water on your property like a pond stepping stones will be appreciated by your family and especially your pets.
You can keep it symmetrical by using even stones on a straight path and finishing as you would a regular paver project. You can turn the walk way into a mini driveway. The options are endless.

This is very nice blog because information provided here through the article and the pictures are very effective. Because sometimes words cannot explain the things that pictures can and here the words and pictures both are expressing the things in balance.
