This seems like the week of garden activity for me! Thank goodness, I have the strength to do the manual labour needed to get this job done! But – here I had lots of help! We finally got around to throwing stones for our new Zen area. It is already taking shape and I am so pleased that my hubby is gonna be part of this garden feature!
My faithful work horse! This is going to be a tough delivery!

I am super happy that we have leapt over this hurdle. Again, we have used the services of Bark & Stone in Montague Gardens. Their service is great and Dennis, who delivers the stone, maneuvers his huge truck through narrow gaps like a pro. Thanks guys, once again! Now comes the decorating. We want to put up a sheltered cover where we can sit (maybe in our hammocks) and enjoy the cool evenings or just relaxing with a good book and dozing in the late afternoons – hey? What do you think?
Happy gardening this week xxxxx

Suggestions how do I keep this clean from leaves, dust an dogs running on this
Very very nice!! I love the stones. Can’t wait to do mine! I wil need help though, I’m not as strong as you are 🙂
No worries – I will be there to help! I thought it would take me days to finish (with Hannes obviously also helping) but it goes really quick with small stones.
Wow I would be in for a massage or chiropractor doing that now…I used to do that labor….I cannot wait to see your plans come to fruition here Barbie.
Hi Donna – I sat in the middle of the stones as the sun set and the feeling is sooooo soothing to just sit and ponder. Perfect for the Zen feel area.
Completed in an hour! Wow – I’m impressed! That would have taken me days! I love your idea of a hammock! What a wonderful spot that will be!
Hi Holley – yes I can’t wait for the Feng Shui feel 🙂
Funny, I also thought this was going to be a massive job but it is really quick to do. We waited so long for that very same reason, but it is chop-chop finished! Don’t go for big stones – that’s a killer!
