re: Pavers with turf between for back patio

Over the years of home ownership and building 2 houses, I've learned that there's a big difference in something that looks great in a catalog and the practicality of it in a real world application. Pinterest has made this even worse. Women see a pic and think "Why can't we have that?"

This patio looks great but it is staged for a photo. Getting the pavers to be level in the turf would be a pain, and yes sliding the chair legs would hit the valleys between the stones and be a pain in the arse.
