Understanding Crazy Paving

Crazy paving, also known as flagstone paving, involves the careful assembly of irregularly shaped stones, creating breathtaking pathways, patios, and courtyards. Unlike uniform styles, this method embraces natural irregularities, providing a rustic yet timeless appeal.


Celebrated as Edna Walling’s signature, crazy paving became iconic in her garden designs. Walling was a pioneer in Australian landscape architecture, known for her naturalistic touch—seamlessly blending hardscaping with lush garden greenery for enchanting effects.
