What type of gravel is used? Love the use of gravel instead of stone. »
· · Comment · 6 months ago
a+b kasha designs The gravel used here is typically used in french country homes. The pebbles are small and generally more beige in color then what is typically used in the US. It is not a special type of gravel in France; it can be found at most gardening stores. But if you are looking for something similar in the US, I would look for beige-toned gravel...I think that is the biggest difference.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Most of the exterior of the house was preserved in its original style, with the gardener's house and the barn still connected. The barn now holds a family room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
1. Normandy, FranceWhen the owners of a + b kasha designs came across this barn/gardener's residence in Normandy, they knew they had found a project that would challenge and reward them.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: French Garden Style
You can't get much more French than this home in the Normandy countryside. The overall design is simple, featuring the strong, straight lines and neatly kept gardens that exemplify French style.
