    When I heard you say "sand and cement" I thought you were talking about two separate things until I saw the bags. Here in the U.S. sand and cement is called Portland Cement. Looks amazing!

      Quick question... what did you end up using to set the pavers in? I was looking online, did not see "Sand & Cement" like what was use on this video...
      How did it turn out?
      We are about to do about the same project at home, but it is more for a walk path.

    The pavers make a nice neat border for the shrubs and the white stones make the entire area pop.

    I have a vision for my small backyard in my new house, I’m definitely not gonna do it on my own because although I’m going a simple route, I still need to get the entire surface leveled while allowing drainage to the pre routed drain path. But I love this touch, might run those rocks with small desert plants to survive the Vegas weather

    Stone/pebble mulch looks good for one season only. Dirt, pine needles, leaves and weeds will accumulate, and is quite difficult to get out, especially around plants. Every spring I have rake the stones back and forth to loosen up the debris, while hubby uses a leaf blower to blow everything out of the bed.
