V8 Beast Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Since I'm sick and stuck at home I figured I would do something productive. The total cost was $150. It took a total of 70 brick/stone thingys, 3 bags of leveling sand, and 3 1/2 hours for my wife and I to get everything done. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out considering its the first time we have ever done anything like this. Here's a quick pick from my phone... http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/xxtheonlyxx/SNC00144.jpg Its 17ft across and 4ft out from the porch. Next I'll be redoing the grass thanks to the kids in the neighborhood thinking my yard is their own personal bike path. I'm also going to have the wife plant some flowers and do all that girly shit. On a side note I now have a trash can full of fill dirt that I dont need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 did you use a level? not bad for a first time. However i wouldnt have used leveling sand. 46D/#411 would have worked better or #310. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Very nicely done!! So many of the people in my gheyborhood try this without putting a base down and leveling. They all look like ass. I did mine seven years ago. Over 130 linear feet. I really don't EVAR wanna do it again! Sorry for the shitty early spring cell pic too! http://usera.ImageCave.com/Rotarded/Landscape.jpg Yes, my weeping cherry focal point took a dump last year thanks to some fungus.

Twistedrx7 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Mike you should replace that with a Bloodgood Japanese Maple. It would go well with that colors you have going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's a seven+ year old Japanese Maple on the corner of the garage, below the coach light. This year, for the first time, it's broken the 15 inch tall mark. My horticulturist at work is working with me on some new plants. There are now 2 rose bushes, along with the Sedum, Lavender, and other shit in the pic I can't remember the names of.
