Sidewalk needs tweaking to the driveway

The sidewalk is very ugly.

Mom didn't like my initial pattern

Rock Pole box 3In my defense, after all the custom cuts and installation with salmon-colored mortar, this would have been a really nice walkway in my opinion.

Neither of us liked this one.

This pattern lacked something.

This can go any number of ways;

I could run the center with marble to take a gradual (or sharp 90degree) turn into the other marble shown at the base of the light stand, and have the apron to the walkway be comprised of pavers.

Or I could have the marble meet the driveway in the fashion of a white apron.

Another option would be to picture-frame the mosaic by ending the marble at any point (or multiple points) for a racetrack effect.
