I took lattice panels that had been in my back yard and put them around my front porch to create a little sense of privacy from my very close neighbors. I plant mandevilla vines growing up them in the summer which creates a nice touch of red in spots on the lattice.

Concrete Garden Path

We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.
