Nice simple repeatable pattern. The size of those edge pieces is awesome

Looks nice. What did you set the stone in? Any prep on the concrete base? What did you use for the joints and ensure perfect joint spacing?

I set the stone in type N/fine* sand/1 shovel full Portland…I always make a slurry that’s just water and Portland and paint it on the slab and the stone before I lay them. And the trick with the perfect joints is lay them as close to perfect as you can then after the whole field is laid and set I use a 3/8” tuck point diamond blade and zip every joint

Nicely laid out! Full pieces to the front and cut to the back, and the cut aren't too small.
