I did this nearly all myself. I had help with the concrete footings, stucco and stone seating cap on the wall. | | | |

Pavers?
looks to random to be stamped concrete, and there are no visible relief cuts.

Vinny I just prefer the natural materials. I prefer wood over pergo, pavers flagstone over concrete. If I were to do concrete I would probably just stain it. I think that looks far more natural than the stamped concrete.
My sister paid some one to put in her concrete patio and for the same square footage I was able to put in pavers by myself for the same cost. | | | |

Alert | Thanks it took a few months, the pavers took 3 full weekends and everynight after work in between. But it was a labor of love, until I got sick of it, LOL. I really enjoy now though. | | | |
