Looking for tips again!!

This year it's a paver patio and walkway through the woods. Anyone take on a project like this? Just having a hard time with patterns and selection of pavers.
The groundwork and building of a patio or walkway is readily available using paver's.
Color selection is key and pattern selection is determined by the geometry of the landscape and the "feel" one wishes to establish on the path. Formal, casual ect...
Buy random samples of pavers that you think will match your color scheme and lay them on the ground. You might find that the colors look different when in place.
My home is a sandstone colored brick and I brought several( what I thought) of the perfect pavers to match my home.
Wrong.
They had a pink cast to them that only showed up when put close to the house.
Buy samples and look at them in place.
Wet them, look at them in the morning light, evening light, broad daylight ect...
The color difference is amazing when they are put in place.
When you get the right combo of color and pattern, you will know it.
Send some pic's of the progress.
