Landscaping Views

Time in garden: 2 hours

Yesterday I worked on my Zerioscape area. I have determined to make it one of my focuses for the summer.  The area faces street side and up until a few weeks ago had fallen into a state of partial neglect. About 15 years ago I converted the area from grass to landscape cloth covered with a mixed blend of  rocks. The lawn was in rough shape and I thought it was best to convert it to a low maintenance area . Scrubs and plants were added initially complemented by the addition of 3 planters a few years ago.  This year i decided to make the area more like a zen garden. The transformation will probably take a while.

Yesterday I purchased 4 large bags of rocks from our local landscaping centre. I needed to finish off the area around my sidewalk that I had prepared earlier. More rock is required.
