Looking great! I'm guessing you know this, having read the thread, but in case not - it's a little ridiculous how much tamping can be needed to lay out a stone floor like this so you remain happy with it over time. Human-level "seems pretty solid to me!", lacking experience, has no bearing whatsoever on the big and slow forces involved lol.

Edit: mulch over the sand under the rocks sounds sus, but I may have misunderstood. And to be clear, I'm far from an expert, learned how to do it "right" nearly a million years ago from an opinionated man (pops) who was legitimately excellent at things like this, and little else lol

    It might end up not working out, but the mulch is meant to break down and become a medium for moss to grow on top of, so it's not structural. It wasn't a thick layer, either. If it does end up being an issue, well I suppose it's a good thing the floor isn't mortared in place.
