Building Our Courtyard Wall & putting in rocks
back to main page




We had some concrete bordering to the flower bed right outside the garage. When I busted it out, I had a moment of inspiration. It is supposed to be stonehenge.

We had stopped watering the front yard and over the summer, the grass looked pretty much dead. We weren't sure if we should have all the grass removed, but our landscaper assured us that with the weed cloth & a healty dose of kilzall, it wouldn't come back. And since we are using the cloth instead of the plastic, we could apply more weed killer and it would soak thru the fabric to kill the weeds.







The yard started taking shape, but was still so barren looking. We had a few mounds, but because they were made from the same rock as the base, you couldn't see them. My neighbor had a bunch of big river rock that he wanted to get rid of, so he let me have it and even helped me load it up & transport it over in wheel barrows.

My other neighbor saw the first one donating some rock, so he weeded out some surplus cactus from his yard and donated them to mine. This photo only shows a few of them, he gave me a bunch more later.
