That is beautiful!
If you get bored and would like to work that magic in another part of the country, my place is available!

Is that real grass?

No... it is artificial!! No more money spent to water the dichondra I had planted between the stones!!


Plus the best thing was....


I got it for FREE http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v643/Rebbetzin/Email icons/2008 new icons/Moneyeyes.gif

It's beautiful. If it was mid-summer I wouldn't have noticed, but it looks too lush to be spring. If astroturf was free, we'd cover the whole yard!

I was wondering what that surface was. I bet that holds up well. I had a walkway that was stones with moss between and it was annoying that I had to weed my walkway.

This stuff is great!! I love it! But, it is HOT on barefeet in the summertime! I loved the way the dichondra was so cool to walk on in my bare feet!! But, the water bill was killing me.

What a lovely way to approach your home!

My other problem with the walk with pavers was we would step on bees. Did you have that problem too? I decided if I did another path such as the one I had (which was much like your photo right before the astroturf one), I would lay a solid piece of cement made to LOOK like pavers.

I have a path I need to cover with something and this gave me a GREAT idea of how to deal with it, thank you so much for posting your photos. I love how this forum helps us spark ideas off one another.

Unfortunately, we don't have many bees around here. And the one's we do have are most likely "Africanized." The oher day my husband attracted some bees in the carport using Lemon Pledge on his Harley!! He accidently put his hand down on one, that had landed on the motorcycle seat, and he didn't see it. He got lightly stung, the stinger stayed in the bee. The next morning he found a dead bee with a bent stinger on the carport!

Well I'm allergic to bees so it was rather an issue for me.

I can see where it would be! Just curious, who gets stung the most in your family, you or someone else. I'm the one that's allergic, and I'm the one that seems to get stung, no matter how careful I am about looking for bees at this time of year. I'm not as bad as I used to be, and the last 2 times I got stung, I didn't need to go to the ER. (I get shots every month) But, I do carry (or am supposed to carry) an epipen w/me for just in case.
