Quote HistoryQuoted: You have any pictures? I'd love to see how it looks, as I get tired of mulching. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: A little surprised to see all the mulch. We mulched for years, switched to river rock several years ago & life has been much better since. Ended up needing 40 tons to completely re-do the landscape, that’s a lot of shoveling & wheelbarrowing let me tell you. But it’s finished now forever & the only maintenance is an occasional walk around with the weed sprayer. You have any pictures? I'd love to see how it looks, as I get tired of mulching. I suck at internetting & still haven’t figured out how to posts pics here. But I’ll be happy to email or text you some of you want to pm me where to send them. Or you can just search 1-3” river rock landscaping into your favorite search engine & get endless results. |

What’s a good material to separate a flower bed from a lawn? What kind cost would I be looking at per 50 feet? Right now I have a divider made up of pieces of wooden fence post sitting on end. It’s very old and starting to fall apart.

Quote HistoryQuoted: OP, love the flower bed rock work in the original post. I've been looking build something like that. Where do I start? @eight sorry for the late reply. Layout your beds and design your walls. Trench out 6-8” 1 foot wide. Fill that back in with crush and run stone about 4-6” deep. Tamp down solid. Then use 1” of paver sand to get your level on top of that stone. Start your first course of flag stones. Try to pick pieces that keep everything sort of level as best you can. It’s one big fucking puzzle. Then just build from there. Most guys just “dry stack” the wall. I like to use a little mortar in key spots on the stone to keep everything more solid. Once your satisfied, I backfill the wall with stone to not only support it but add a way for water to escape. Typically 3/4 of the way up the backside of that way and about 6” into the bed. Fill everything back up with soil, grade, and plant. |

I'm building a garden walkway and arbor right now. The walkway will then help me move stone to fix a dry stream a contractor fucked up.
I said, "build a dry stream bed to help with drainage that looks natural. Think water feature without water." And they heard "dump identical rocks in a ditch like we're doing drainage at the mall." |

Damn. Makes me feel bad with all we need to get done. Done a lot, but a long way to go. I’ve done a lot of top soil fill in old stump locations that have sunk in as the wood underground rotted away and the wife put out a lot of mulch around the garden beds surrounding the house. We still need the irrigation system done and the old well redone with a new pump and all new piping. I basically have a hole in the ground.
We have about a 4’ rise in the yard at the end of our back driveway that we want to build steps into. Found a pic of where we want the steps. We want them spiraling towards the right and built with the right side starting at the concrete line where the drive meets the parking pad.  Ok, here’s a pic I posted last year the first week we moved in.  This was taken a week or three back. Shows all the over growth we have cleared out.  Another angle of all the ground cover and wax myrtles we cut back that really opened up the view.  It’s a slow process with my spinal stenosis issues and having to work slowly and a little at a time. And my meds I’m on don’t play well with the heat. So no summertime hard work. |

I completely messed up my back yard lawn last week. I got it looking great, finally….all except for a small section that stayed bald. I figured I’d dethatch so I bought a SunJoe dethatcher, set it to the lowest setting and went to work. Damn thing ripped up more live grass than dead and now It just looks barren, big patches of dirt. Gonna reseed with some Jonathans Black Beauty seed and hope for the best.
I’m wondering though, people with large sections of mulch/bark…how do they keep it clean? my neighbors tree drops lots of crap into my mulch and it’s a pain in the ass to clean. I can’t use my blower because it blows the mulch all over. Any tips? |

Give it a blow at idle here and there then you can smooth the mulch around with a metal tine rake flipped over (tines point up to the sky) just use the backside and rake the mulch around. It will cover some of the shit up and smooth everything back over. |

Owning a home is a neverending project to me. I think I bought my current house because I ran out of stuff to do on the last house.
Last year I wanted to expand off the deck (which I also did myself six years ago) and proper up the small bed I did (never intended to be permanent). It turned into something a little larger. I thought I'd do a fire pit.  That was staked, lined, diagonals measured, and sod stripped before leveling and all of that. A few pallets of bricks and a month of work later and I had this:  I used "jointing sand," which sets but doesn't really harden, because I had to backfill and I suspected as I was going that I was going to have settling issues. It is almost impossible to tell what is virgin ground and what isn't as a fair amount of grading was done. I expected some unevenness and I did get it, though nothing from frost heave (and we had some hard freezes this year). That let me pull the stones and re-level. This spring I finished adding the last edge bed, with three rose bushes and 36 lilies (for my daughters).  As I'm addicted to this stuff, I'll probably add more lights and speakers out there. |

Last year I wanted to expand off the deck (which I also did myself six years ago) and proper up the small bed I did (never intended to be permanent). It turned into something a little larger. I thought I'd do a fire pit. https://i.ibb.co/CbTshcm/20210914-125742.jpg That was staked, lined, diagonals measured, and sod stripped before leveling and all of that. A few pallets of bricks and a month of work later and I had this: https://i.ibb.co/ctzBT4T/20211023-172609.jpg I used "jointing sand," which sets but doesn't really harden, because I had to backfill and I suspected as I was going that I was going to have settling issues. It is almost impossible to tell what is virgin ground and what isn't as a fair amount of grading was done. I expected some unevenness and I did get it, though nothing from frost heave (and we had some hard freezes this year). That let me pull the stones and re-level. This spring I finished adding the last edge bed, with three rose bushes and 36 lilies (for my daughters). https://i.ibb.co/JdQdbYK/20220410-133836.jpg As I'm addicted to this stuff, I'll probably add more lights and speakers out there. Nice work, looks like you paid attention to detail and can run a level.

My dogs have torn up the yard pretty good. We also have a few low spots.
So I filled the low spots with fill dirt from a buddy Then I got 5 yards of mulch delivered. Decided to use landscape timber’s for an edge. My plan was to use mulch around the fence line so that they aren’t running in dirt, and then tracking it in. Here’s some pics. Even include one of my mal.  Attached File Attached FileI did have one hickup. Drove rebar into a massive stone. It’s about 20” long. I ended up driving the rebar as far as I could and then cut it flush with the timber’s. Edit. It’s always sideways. What the fuck |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You have any pictures? I'd love to see how it looks, as I get tired of mulching. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: A little surprised to see all the mulch. We mulched for years, switched to river rock several years ago & life has been much better since. Ended up needing 40 tons to completely re-do the landscape, that’s a lot of shoveling & wheelbarrowing let me tell you. But it’s finished now forever & the only maintenance is an occasional walk around with the weed sprayer. You have any pictures? I'd love to see how it looks, as I get tired of mulching. @Paadams if you look at post #16 2nd picture i think you'll see large river rock used as a drip edge along the house. We installed steel drip edge to give the river rock a clean straight looking reveal a bit later in this project. This river rock is 6" minus which in my opinion was a touch large but i like the 1 1/2 " river rock more. There is landscape fabric ( recommended) below the rock to keep weeds and such down. |
