They'll stone ya when yer.....







We went out looking at stone yesterday - I'm going to do some landscaping in the back yard this year, including a new patio tucked back in by the secret lab and the garden shed. We really like a tan-coloured square cobblestone we saw!

That'll be a lovely patio.

Agreed. The cobblestone is nice. Glad to hear you're moving forward on the landscaping. I think the patio will be a nice retreat there.

Is the tan square second picture up? Sounds like sort of an artist's haven back there that you are creating - I'm just looking at my spaces, sighing, looking at all the myriads of plants for sale, sighing some more - I guess if we get the grass back maybe next year we can make the sexy part - like stone walks, a real studio, etc. Sounds like your ideas are forming up for the landscape project!

Love the boxes of stones. You've got some awesome options. The best part is the signs of spring though!

yes Gardenia, the yellowish-tan square cobbles....the plan is to do the hidden patio and a curvy path this year...I'm taking a week off work in mid-May to do the job. I say hidden patio because from the house and the street, there is a big Japanese Maple and the blackberry brambles that will partially obscure what is back there.

me again - i just returned from blood tests and the place had a courtyard done in similar looking tiles - it was beautiful - they had used a straight pattern in places, then a fan pattern in other places. There were I think either elephant ears or castor bean plants on the sides (about 3-4 feet tall, split leaves) - a small table, two white wrought iron chairs - it was really inviting!
