Need some guidance on installing crazy paver patio

Hello geniuses of Reddit! I’m a new homeowner with delusions of grandeur. I found 400 sq ft of travertine on marketplace today for $200 and nabbed it immediately. I really want to redo our backyard patio in a crazy paving style. The ground underneath our current patio is just dirt (last photo.) We’ll be doing the necessary ground prep (gravel, GS, leveling) but do I need to have a concrete base for this to work? Can I mortar/grout these stones together without one? TLDR: does anyone have steps to follow to create this look without concrete? Please don’t yell at me. Thank you!! submitted by /u/existentiallywarm [link] [comments]
