My latest accomplishment is installing 2’x2′ raised aggregate pavers. This is for a secluded corner of the enclosed “secret garden”. There are a number of ways to install these; some more professional than others. The way I did it (and I often do things my own way):
1. Got my kids to help remove the sod.
2. Placed sand on this de-sodded area.
3. Installed the pavers, leveling each one as we went. We eyeballed the spacing between the pavers.
This area is at the rear corner of the fenced area and is more private. Makes a nice place to meditate, postulate, communicate, or get intimate. Nice quiet place to sit and read also. Plan to put a small table and couple of chairs here.
Result: Looks great and very inviting.
WOuld love to see pics! I love secret nooks in yards and gardens.
I think you got carried away with the a-t-e endings…
It is becoming more private, but not qualified as “secret”. I would have to plant some ornamental size trees to screen the fencing etc.
I always liked the idea of a secret garden, but the wide open spaces out here mean that by the time the trees grow… we are all too old to trudge all the way out there. I do like how the space is shaping up, though. Just a few more things and it might be ready for pictures :)
