This is another project of mine. A dry pond/creek bed.

I collected rocks from the woods and bought the footbridge on line. I found the neat stork at Lowes. Yes, Lowes is my favorite store. I had the stone delivered and I just layed out how I wanted it with the large rocks and then just filled it in with the stone and mulched the rest. It was pretty easy actually. I got the daylillies from a friend and the grasses I bought at a market. My little cat I had for 17 years is buried under the St. Francis statue on the left side of the bridge so this spot has special meaning to me.

    I outlined the project with larger rocks to keep the smaller stone in place. It works great.

    Looks really nice - less grass to mow - bet it was alot of work though - and pricey too.

    Carol actually the most expensive thing about this project was the bridge and that was only $100 on Ebay!!

    Mine is very similar to yours and I did this in April. I added a large collection of sea shells on top of the rocks.

    Thanks for sharing this, It is awesome and has given me some fantastic ideas to what to do with an area in my front yard that I am having a hard time growing grass in. I think I will just create something like this or similar

    Absolutely beautiful, soon to be my next project outback, lots of space to do that and we hardly go back there, just to mow or weed eat, but after putting one of those in, I'd spend alot of time back there! Sorry to hear about your cat too, it's hard losing a loved pet of that many yrs, lost mine almost a yr ago, he was 13 yrs old :(
