geeze darn not fair to all us rock lovers who are drooling

Beautiful rocks, we have a little quartz, the rest is mush rock, shale that turns to dirt after it is taken out of the ground.

We have a lot of river rock and sandstone and a few others that you can find in the ground around here.

I found this picture and this is the look I'm going for in the front yard. I already have the gazebo with my outdoor kitchen but I want to build a flagstone patio that goes up to the edge of my pond.

OH man that is a nice set up in that photo! Good choice of an example to go by.

I think I would enjoy the gazebo more if it was closer to the pond .Just me shade and protection from rain and weather would be nicer closer to where I could enjoy the pond more .I think i would try to raise it up also so i can look down on my little guys swimming .

 

[smcox1]

I wouldn't want to sit under that metal gazebo when its raining! Lol! But if it were closer it would be nice.

 

[addy1]

that will be beautiful

 

[smcox1]

I hope so now I have to go find out how much flagstone costs.

 

[sissy]

Well I know here for a pallet it is 109 dollars for smaller size and for the large size ,takes 2 people to pick up one ,it is 169.dollars just that it looks like you get less but actually they cover a lot more area with one stone .But on that the bigger ones are a bear to level since they are cut irregular on one side and smooth on the other ..Smooth side up of course .I laid the smaller ones here but laid the bigger ones at the other house .I like the look of the bigger ones and used polameric sand even though it is more money once wettened it dries like cement .Helps keep the weeds out

I started filling up the pond last night and planted a few plants.

 

[sissy]

fuzzy darn it take clearer pic :razz: getting older by the minute and eye sight not getting better .But it does look good .Have you found your stream liner yet .I saw some on northern tool .com that had some cheaper ones also .Webbs online had some also with free shipping

 

[smcox1]

Here are some better pics lol!!

No I forgot to look at northern tool i will do that right now.

It looks great .I really like the way you sort of set up a pond in a pond .Gosh you have those rocks every where .Can I give you a little hint for your deck mix bleach and water and pray on the pressure treated wood and it will go back to it's original color .I just make sure i hose down plants and grass before and after and bleach mixture is good to clean vinyl siding also and gutters if they are white

Pond looks good and like the plantings that you have added! The steam will be the icing on the cake!
