Paving concern

Any thoughts on this paving? I think the front and back grout lines should align with each other but the landscaper has laid the back paving in line with the back wall (our garden is an odd shape). He said that to make them align, the back paving would have to be wider at one end than the other but I think that would be preferable. It throws all the lines of the garden off. Do you think he should have consulted me on this first? I want to get it rectified but suspect we will have to pay as it is essentially cosmetic. https://flic.kr/p/w4ygut

My vote would go with both bits of paving being aligned BUT with lawn in situ and some pots, I suspect you won't notice.

I did but I'm on a phone so may not be working!
Kai_63, yes, agree with you, we had paved drive laid in lat house, asked for it to be done particular way(costs loads!!!) First row was not how we agreed, kept asking, in the end Hubby just took them out and re-laid them as we asked. I wouldnt notice as much as him, but he would point it out. Friend had conservatory built, side of house one colour, back different.Work started while he was at work, wrong colour, a couple of years down the line its going to Court! Maybe a tad extreme for paving, though!!!

That should be the case Dove!
That's what I would do - they might have to start the other job a day later than originally planned - not an unusual situation in building work in my experience (having been married to a builder )
