no the pavings are probably not as uniform, likely not as ‘safe’ especially on a rainy day, compared to concrete pavers

it seems almost antiquated at this point, its for sure not the ‘in’ look
but maybe this style will make a come back one day
I love the variation and wobbly ness of its character, its perfect non symmetrical nature, and its uneven sometimes ragged blotchy weathered edges textures and colors
it is like an extension of the earths laughter wrought through human hands and imaginations
well found some examples of this sort of stonework in the Iberian Peninsula on the walkways and the plazas. heres a bit of a photo essay:
