My Path

Martin hurt his hand at the start of the work, so this really was my path. Proud as a peach to finally get this done! Bring Post but an easy way to keep track of landscaping work.

Install edging

Martin's ingenious levelling tool and my little helper Salta!

Level soil and tamp down w tamper

Add horticultural fabric, limestone screening, spread and level

Lay out stones

Laying the stones took a long time and was like doing a very heavy puzzle.

Backfill with pea gravel

Add large bark Mulch around evergreen
