There are different ways to lay stones on the walkway. One is cement the other is stone sand. Any preference?
SURROUNDS Landscape Architecture + Construction
We do it both ways depending on the look that we are going for. If you look at some of our other jobs, we have done entire walkways and patios with large slab flagstone on a gravel baseFebruary 19, 2013

It's like a green shag carpet. I think it goes great with the setting. I'm curious how it holds up though. Florida weather can be a real pain so it's good to take caution when choosing any type of plants.February 8, 2014

Trovo molto interessante l' effetto, che nonostante l' utilizzo di molte tipologie di essenze riesce a dare un senso di ordinato, e anche nella manutenzione non troppo impegnativo.

The stone wall was constructed using standard industry practices. A concrete footer is poured, with cinderblock stacked and mortared in place on top of the footer. Then the cinderblock is faced with the stone and the wall cap is secured.
