crazy paving
Jumbled stone path
Crazy paving is a style of paving made from irregularly shaped flat stones fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle, with no uniform pattern.
Common in British gardens and patios: The path wound through crazy paving to the back door.
The effect is rustic and informal compared to regular flagstones or bricks.
