Transformation Tuesday: Specific Emitters
Continuing with the project we featured a few weeks ago - on this side of the house, the client wanted a flagstone pathway that would lead from the back door to the fireplace. In order to give the yard a more elegant feel, we designed this area to have two levels which are brought together with three steps. This not only gives the yard a nice focal point, it also helps the yard feel larger. We trenched out the area where the landscape block was going to go and began to level
Question of the Week: Loose Gravel
Q: We have Buckskin flagstone and gravel in between and our dogs are constantly kicking the gravel loose! Any suggestions for sealing gravel in between the flagstone? A: You may want to get flagstone pieces closer together. If not, we recommend Gravel-Lok.
