It bothers me that you didn’t use cedar mulch. I know it’s more expensive, but it smells really good. It also looks good too.
edit: it looks good though

You did good. Have yourself a cold one.

Great job! Using key stones as boarders is unsightly in my opinion. Using square edge stones/blocks is better but I prefer natural. It looks cleaner

Nice job. If you’re having overspill at any point because of rain, consider taking a flat shovel and making a hard edge at the back of your pavers. It should be at least a few inches deep and sloped towards the bottom of the paver. Just drag the shovel tip along with the curve of the bed. Then top up the mulch and tamp it down the edge with the flat back of a hard rake. That will help keep your mulch in place for longer.

Nicely done. What tool did you use for the edging?

I think this looks great.
If you don’t mind, what were the steps you took to achieve this look? I’d like to copy, respectfully of course

That’s the best look for a yard, natural.

Looks nice, but I prefer a clean lawn edge (cut the lawn with a manual edger). It’s much easier to keep weeds/grass out vs weeding under and between blocks.
Edit: saw the other (block less) pics. That is SO much better!

I prefer the bricks. Looks worse now.

I removed a brick edge on my lawn this Summer as well. I noticed that the grass struggled to grow along the border, because the brick soaked up a bunch of water, and also acted as a heat sink. Those bricks would burn you almost instantly when they were in the hot sun all day. Looks great!

How hard is it to keep it looking this way over time?
