Landscaping projects – whether on a professional scale or homespun – usually draws its energy from an inspired vision. If the final product can look anywhere near what the computer-generated renderings, hand sketches, or images in your head are, then you are doing something right. Of course, it often happens where things stray from an original plan for one reason or another.Pictured with this post is an image that is quite contrary to the title. What you are seeing there actually is roughly one ton of crushed shell. This is the basis for a front-yard landscape project that I’ve had in mind for a while now. I have/had the inspiration. The hard part was finding the time and getting the material.
The project is under way and coming together. However, borrowing a line from one of my all-time favorite movies: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Well, in this case, I’m going to need more shell. Good things take time, and so far, so good.
Stay tuned. More to come …
