Love it. Those flat stones - where do you get something like that? Pretty spendy? I bought some flagstone once for a small path and it was $300 for just a few pieces!

Flycats, your yard looks great and I love the flagstone path in picture 4, but I would really like to know what kind of edging you have to the right of the flowers and next to the grass in that picture! Geesh, if you lived closer you could come over and work on my yard anytime!

THANK you everyone! It took me 4 months and I threw my back out at one point. I actually copied the idea from an article in BHG magazine from 1999! I had ripped out the article and shoved it in a drawer. The article was on a house in Carmel. Their wall was the same but maybe a little shorter, along with the spitting frog! So I'm just a big copycat! ha ha
The flagstone I got at a building supply yard. They had a crap-load of it. It was on sale for only $175 a ton (some goes for upwards of $400 a ton), I think I got about 12 tons (8 pallets!!) I only used about 9 or 10 tons cuz I was going to build TWO walls but ran out of steam so I gave the rest to a friend! Anyway, it was a good deal.
Weezie, the green pots are on two platforms that stick out of the sides of the metal arbor. I suppose they could be used to sit on but i think they were meant to be used to hold pots. There is also a little gate that opens up, I have wired it open in the pic.
Patches, the edging is a poured concrete mowstrip with color added and a salt finish. It was kinda spendy but I'm really glad I did it because It ties into the circle theme and really outlines the circle lawn.

Thanks flycats! It mowstrip looks really beautiful in your yard, but the part I find unattractive is the word "spendy"! I've just about exhausted my gardening budget for the year and I still have to get some winter maintenance stuff for my yard before winter.

Patches! SO TRUE! Spendy for sure is a bad word! You could maybe sink some bricks or pavers in the ground to make a now strip. I've seen it done quite nicely! Dont' know how it would work good on a sharp curve. GOOD luck!

Hello - that's the problem we've had here at our house, figuring out how to get bricks or pavers to hug the curves we have in all our bed areas. If anyone has any suggestions, please share! I bought this house a year and a half ago, the "landscape" consisted of overgrown bed with no edge definition, and we've spend a good chunk of time and money already with cleaning it up. So, we didn't want to go to the expense of concrete for the edging but haven't figured out how to do it with the pavers . . .
