Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Hi Brent! Be aware, that the term for paving with stones, in U.S. English can depend on the stone. Cobble stone paving, stone paving or block paving, or even mosaic, depending on how intricate the design.

"Floor/flooring" wird in diesem Kontext offenbar mehr für Innenräume verwandt...
Note from asker:
Thanks for the quick response. “Pavement design” will work well in this context.
Or probably "paving design" is better. But you let me to the right word.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Bear in mind that pavement means something different in the US. "Paving" might be better.

Thank you Phil. And yes, in the US 'pavement' can also just mean the tarmac on a road or airfield..Typical US example: road sign saying 'Pavement ends' shortly before rolling into gravel Thus, 'paving' might be better (abundant sources for either option).

Understanding Paving Design
:
Corby Station is a flagship station in terms of paving design and is a great example of how the landscaped areas are an integral part of the overall design theme, which helps to engage visitors and add impact.
https://media.marshalls.co.uk/image/upload/v1518179947/Under...

With a little imagination and careful consideration, paving design can be used to great effect to accentuate or minimize spatial qualities. It can make a space feel bigger or smaller, dynamic or restful, elaborate or simple, longer or shorter, wider or narrower, warmer or colder and even older or newer.
Paving design can be as simple or as complicated as you like. The commonest pattern, the grid, is also the simplest and is often used as a pattern that won’t detract from the vertical built forms.
A variation on the grid, as simple as turning it on the 45 degree angle, will make a space feel bigger and more dynamic by accentuating the diagonal distances. By substituting the square paver in a grid for a rectangular paver, the view across the shorter dimension will have an exaggerated foreshortening effect making that distance feel longer than it actually is.
Paving design at its most complicated can be an elaborate central panel like a Persian rug, the endless possibilities of mosaic, or a 2 dimensional representation of the 3 dimensional space it is within........
