Sound awful, but looks nice actually.<BR/><BR/>We did a small dry river bed in the front with a mix of found rocks and bags of pea gravel and egg stones from Lowes. Heh, I should blog about that! ;)<BR/><BR/>It would obscure the rocks, but I bet tall daylilies would look really nice in that spot...the height would give the area a bit of proportion with the stairs behind it. The only problem is, you have to find a species which is a long bloomer. I guess annuals are easier to change out so you always have color there.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-76250581388296954172007-07-05T10:31:00.000-05:002007-07-05T10:31:00.000-05:00I love stacked stone wall too!

We have completed several with stone that was surrounding a pond we filled in to my husband hauling home free rocks 2-3 times a week the first 6 months he was home w/ our newborn. It IS like a puzzle and we both love the results. Your's looks great, can't wait to see it get taller.<BR/>Emmy in NashvilleEmmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286974701282801226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-33244146022428202492007-07-05T06:49:00.000-05:002007-07-05T06:49:00.000-05:00I love the stone work.

We have many new developments being built in our area so when I see them blasting, I stop and ask if we can come by and load up rocks for our yard (they rarely say no). DH and I have built a raised bed and made 2 rock pathways in the yard. Our neighbor has build an entire stone wall this way!TracyMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229503241864939021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-15651478205615956102007-07-04T21:59:00.000-05:002007-07-04T21:59:00.000-05:00We put stacked stone walls around our flower beds ...We put stacked stone walls around our flower beds last year. Lots of work to gather the rocks. We live in an area of Texas where rocks are easy to come by, so the rocks were free. We did use some masonary glue to keep them in place. It comes in a tube like caulk and is not too expensive. It works well when we get heavy rain with flowing water to keep the rocks form washing away. We had fun building it too. Like putting a puzzle together. Ours are really large as we can get a truck load of rocks from my son's property any time we feel like loading them. <BR/>Your home is very charming. I love the red, white, and blue table setting. Your family must be very proud of you. <BR/>RoxieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-52950578041648369452007-07-04T14:44:00.000-05:002007-07-04T14:44:00.000-05:00that flag just looks so good right where you place...that flag just looks so good right where you placed it :)<BR/><BR/>and lovin' the stacked stone wall...sheila from life @ #17https://www.blogger.com/profile/14307471105709629639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-75675575584224969742007-07-04T12:30:00.000-05:002007-07-04T12:30:00.000-05:00I think that rock wall you are building looks just...I think that rock wall you are building looks just right!
