Whose Idiot Idea Was This Again?

Where most people would lay pavers with sand and mortar, this guy had laid them on top of concrete, which was fused with bricks and more concrete. All of this went down around about a meter and really, really didn't want to come up. It took a lot of work to get all of that bedding up, and the unfortunate part was I had to do all the physical labour side of it myself.

There was also a tree in the back right hand corner which we removed. All the bark was replaced with urban stone as well, giving us an end result looking something like this:
