It looks very professional and really plays up the surrounding plants, trees and shrubs. It also must be a joy to walk on. Thanks for sharing this.<BR/>I am always gone on the weekends and get behind on the blog reading.

If that becomes a 'tripping' problem you could edge the lips of the changes in grade with a small 4x4x4 belgium block for a visual clue to the change and a finished edge. It looks wonderful. You must be so pleased. I loved your 'petals on the walk' post also. Thanks for visiting over at ledge and gardens. I hope to see you there and visit you more often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-8915213298785573632008-04-14T17:09:00.000-07:002008-04-14T17:09:00.000-07:00WOW!!!

This time I took my time and did it all in stages. After I dug it out, I spread the sand and let it sit for a few days before laying the rock, etc. If you use the sand topping product, you have to be really careful - you can't just pour it over the stones and sweep it in or you will have a major mess. Carefully pour it between the cracks and when you wet it, use a fine mist from the hose so the water won't be too forceful. I hope this helps!Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-11184060803532756932008-04-13T19:40:00.000-07:002008-04-13T19:40:00.000-07:00I think it looks amazing!
