First time laying any bricks/stones. It was a real pain to get the pattern just right without some tiny odd pieces right at the front in plain view. Lots of dry fitting and cutting bricks (!). In hindsight I wish we’d just done regular corners at the front! Thanks for looking.

Looks nice. Are you planning on sealing or adding a finish to the bricks? Might help avoid stains on the blocks or the grout long term.
