I tried the link but it didn't work for me. Rats.

Well, I've got to say that it's the prettiest splashblock I've ever seen! Great job--I hope that a big huge rain doesn't wash away all of your small stones. Thanks for sharing with us!

Thought I would post the picture directly.

Now that is nice. Surprising what pretty changes we can come up with when we think 'outside' the box.

Very pretty. Are they anchored, or just loose?

I love how something so simple can make such a great change.

Really sets it off. Dh has our gutters all drained in the ground..no catching rain water here!

Ok, well they are not anchored...just loose. It's rained really hard here at times and they haven't moved. Don't think they are going anywhere any time soon. :) I placed flat rocks on my green splashblock so it would be the shape of a creek...sort of v-shaped toward the middle. Then I just took some stones and placed them at random, and added sparkle. The light hits those see-through stones just right and they're really pretty.
Calicocat...thanks for posting that pic for me. I don't know how to do it directly...looks like I don't know how any other way either. Oh well.

Definitely the prettiest splashblock I've seen. You really did a wonderful job fancying it up so nice.

hugs, Karen

Well, who'd a thought!?? Wonderful, creative idea,robbie! Very "in the woods" look! I like placing the glass in there for sparkle, that was a cool idea!

I am so glad to have found this...I "googled "splash blocks and was looking to buy a decorative one. But now that I see this, it will solve my problem, save me a lot of money and look awesome. They sell the bags of sparkly stones at the dollar store I am going to throw in a few seas shells to the mix!!!

great !!
