We did all the stone work in our garden thirty years ago and it defines our garden pretty much...they are the cornerstone of its design. I would me happy to share our experiences with you. We are currently embarking on a rather large interior Yukkkk.

I can imagine! No...Oh Debra, it will look fabulous! I can imagine! Nothing better than walking onto a stone paved patio. And the position behind your barn, together with the trees and the existing stone wall...just very natural.<br /><br />I love the last image. Just let me say: I only can strongly recommend not to have moss growing in the joints/gaps between the stones, as nice and natural as it would look. First - in shady places moss could grow allover the stones and could be a menace! Also when wet very slippery to walk. <br />Being surrounded here from all kind of stone work I can tell from experience that it could mean endless cleaning to avoid not to end up, sooner or later depend on the position, with a carpet of moss covering all the stones.<br />The other thing: In any gaps between the stones you will have weeds growing which you either clean out regularly by hand (backbraking!) or have to be treated with a weed killer.<br /><br />Again from our experience - the only way to avoid all this is no gaps/space between the stones, filling the joints/gaps with ciment which can be colored to look more natural. And I'm sure that Mr. Man knows that the stones have to be set onto/into a bed of sand.<br /><br />Looking so much forward seeing how you progress on this stone-project - your secret garden!<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday my dear friend,<br />xxxkarinLaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-7041423614268740682012-01-13T17:15:09.599-08:002012-01-13T17:15:09.599-08:00The entire notion of planning ahead is quite forei...The entire notion of planning ahead is quite foreign to me!

Our stone mason who is an angel tempted us to do what is called a "seat wall" which we love and when we entertain it becomes the go to wall. I need to do an entire post or blog devoted to stones. There is nothing finer than a stone wall, ledge, outcropping, patio, or place to make one feel grounded.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-15924599116545641152012-01-11T21:06:40.725-08:002012-01-11T21:06:40.725-08:00Debra!!!
