Our Masonry "Rugs"

At the end of several projects at work, the masons have scraps from construction. Some are full size pieces while most are small "chip" pieces. Usually these items are carted off to the dump, but over the last several years, I ask them to pile them up in our backyard. We took the leftovers and created some interesting "rugs" that are placed in between garden rooms. I try to keep them different geometries for fun. The rug above has a sunflower with a wonderful round red bluestone center leading into a garden where we plant sunflowers every year. The one to the left is a series of circles filled with small chips that feel great on bare feet!
