Gardening - Imbedded Stone Border on Pathway & Flowerbeds

Jennifer Godwin
by Jennifer Godwin
Per your request Miriam I and Small Talk Mama , I've uploaded pics of the stone borders. I didn't do this work myself (I'm envious, Small Talk!) but when working with the landscaper who put in my irrigation and sod, he originally had the borders raised, I asked him, ever so politely to make them level with the ground. He looked at me like I was crazy but he did it anyway ... I love it. Also, I have a rambunctious Lab who was really "digging" to be with the neighbor's dogs. I also had him do the same "imbedding" of stone at the base of my fence. There is no fun in digging if all she hits is 4 inches of stone. Also, just for kicks, I've uploaded pic of my front yard BEFORE the yard work in Jan 2012. It truly was a wasteland.
Front Yard - Pathway
Front Yard - To the Right of Driveway - Extra Walking Space & little flower bed

    Am I the only person who keeps seeing an elongated rabbit (with tall ears) when I see the first picture in this posting?


    (It's just missing the little round tail in the lower right.
