I'm looking at your table right now SazO. There is a little graval at the driveway as 2nutz said, the rest is paved. It is a bit uneven in places. I am not the steadiest person, so I tend to keep my heels a little flatter here. But that is because my balance is awful. Just keep an eye out for steps. They appear in unexpected places. You really are totally off on your own. They were setup two nights ago and it was beautiful. You are going to love it!
