Eight thousand pounds of rock . each piece individually picked up, studied for texture, color and pattern, and placed (with some trial and error) a composition takes shape . the beginnings of a backyard with no lawn . aching back coincides with temperatures creeping over 100 degrees but the result – so far – speaks for itself – a great team effort! It’s going to be beautiful and very functional . and of course rock needs less water than lawn . Next tasks: getting these babies level . and ready for the finishing touch: interstitial planting . maybe Corsican mint? .
