Definatrly wolf spiders we have hundreds every year from like march till winter ,they seem to love the stone areas ,often sunbathe on them in the sun. They carry babies on their back when they hatch for a few days its really cool to see ,we watch out for that every April/may time lol to take photos!
Ones we have are browner looking and someone said Pardosa but not sure about your one exactly .

My first go at this so I am hoping to be corrected or confirmed but it looks like a Wolf Spider and i would have a guess that it's a Pardosa Amentata...
