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. |

Same with cutting any masonry really. Shit will harden in your lungs. No buneo |

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.

Anybody have experience with clumping bamboo in Zone 7 (north Texas near OK)? I don't want to deal with the invasive type, but clumping seems like a good privacy screen.

So you like stone work? This is our last house.
 Attached File Attached FileSometimes it rains during your project. It doesn't help that the back yard is a water retention area. Water was half way up the skid steer at 3 AM. More water than the 20 year neighbors had ever seen back there. Delayed work for a week.  Attached FileIt all comes together after a few years..  Attached File Attached File |

Which would require you to “trench” out a small area along the bed and use metal stakes to hold it into place. It’s relatively cheap like $20 per 50ft and lasts forever as long as the mower doesn’t get it.  Attached File |

Sure, I mean even if it’s on a slight slope it’s still going to work the same right. |
