This is one of the most beautiful garden improvements I have ever seen. I've had this video saved since you posted it, and now, I just purchased my forever home, and I will be doing this project in the coming months! Thankyou :)
Started watching you because of the roses but I am so enjoying the variety of things you have presented. These ideas are manageable because they are DIY. You are very clever.
Very clever ! I am going to do this in the children's garden and have the grandkids help with adding wee treasures within it ! This will be so much fun , thank you for the inspiration 💙
Great solution for that corner. Your flow of stones like a current is very natural and appealing, creating a visual segway from the interlock stones to the plants . I have experienced the best success with cotoneaster when grown in fairly rich moist soil, mostly in sun in a spot where the radiating branches can hang over a height….as from a berm, slope or terraced area of garden. It doesn’t seem to last on a flat surface where it’s easier to be buried under ice and or snow…that is a sure cause of die back. I especially like that it’s evergreen.
That spot was exactly what cotoneaster was not designed to do, foot traffic and shade from cars. My little replant is doing fine and I am glad that you have great success with your cotoneaster plants. Happy gardening!
@@OlgaCarmody I was hoping your replant was thriving. They are actually quite hardy, despite setbacks. I like cotoneaster very much and when I see what the price is in our local garden center, I’m glad I have one that I can propagate from.
What a lovely solution. I have just the spot for it in a side yard . I might do an entire path from front to back, especially since it's a project that can be done in pieces at different times. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a wonderful, artistic solution to this problem. My mind is spinning, trying to think of ways I can incorporate this idea into my garden. Than you for the inspiration! 💚
I love it ! Plus it looks so much better than that dead brown looking shrub .. lol 😂 It would be pretty to add a pot of flowers on there too , that way you could change out the flowers for the seasons . ♥️
This is a great idea, especially if you live somewhere, like I do in the Catskills of New York, where the soil is filled with small stones. We always say "5 pounds of dirt contains 10 pounds of rocks."
Your lovely stone-mosaic walk is an inspiration to me for the community garden in Milwaukee - thank you! (I knew there was a good reason to pick up good rocks.) My only consideration is that I had learned that when repairing concrete, the replacement piece must be at least 2 in (5 cm) thick to survive usefully in our temperate climate. Does that extrapolate to sidewalks, or would the smooth-rock pattern strengthen the unit? Hmmm, the engineer in me says, 'Better err on the side of caution', but the fun, impulsive adhd-brain says, 'Let's go!'
Not sure, never tried on concrete walkway. I would say that cement might dislocate with time, since pressure from foot traffic would be great. But not sure. You can try and let us all know.
We inherited them with the house, previous owners had a stone path and we saved all the stones for future projects. Different stones are sold in Home Improvement stores in 25 pound bags, I believe.
I remember your request about the black netting. I realized that I do have a video how I made it. Here it is -ua-cam.com/video/OWPRWJPiIf8/v-deo.html Hope it helps.
Very nice. Maybe it could be improved by using lime mortar or a white cement, mixed with less uniform sand, meaning river sand, sand with tiny bits of stone, of different sizes, textures and colours, mixed in. The smooth grey look of cement is not ideal and kills the natural beaty of stone. The colour of the sand can also be experimented with, you can get yellow sand, grey sand, red sand etc

If you use a cement sealer it will make the pebbles look like they do when they're wet, kind of stand out a little more.
Beautiful. Thank you for the peaceful wonderful informative video.
You remind me of me, I love doing stuff like this! You have given me ideas what do with patching my cracked concrete. Thanks so much!
I love this project. Charming.
Very inspiring. I can picture placing tiny colored rocks in the other cement area. I'm going to give this a try.

Thank you so much 😊

Wonderful! It is not as difficult, and as you said, all sorts of treasures can be added to pebbles.

You are welcome!
You did a great job. I like the weeping tree in the background, it is very unusual. X
Yes, that is my Weeping Larch, magnificent tree!
I love this project! You gave me an idea to fix the inside of my birdbath with mosaics!
I love it ! Plus it looks so much better than that dead brown looking shrub .. lol 😂
It would be pretty to add a pot of flowers on there too , that way you could change out the flowers for the seasons . ♥️
That might be a good option. Thanks.
Very pretty idea. I have been binge watching your channel for about a week, and have learned a lot! Thank you sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Thank you, Laura! Welcome to my channel! I am glad you are enjoying my videos!
Thank you for this video. I have always wanted to do this, but wasn't sure if I could. You gave great advice. I think I shall give it a try!
You can use slow hardening, usual cement for this project as well. Good luck!
That looked lovely! I've got a tonne bag of jade coloured pebbles and will be using them for paths. It's going to be a lot of work!
You are going to love it!
Gorgeous! You can use thinset to repair a few loose stones.
A very neat idea . It turned out nice !!
Thank you! 😊
This is a great idea, especially if you live somewhere, like I do in the Catskills of New York, where the soil is filled with small stones. We always say "5 pounds of dirt contains 10 pounds of rocks."
That was awesome👌🏾
This is absolutely beautiful!
Thankyou for your information..❤
Beautiful and artistic path.
I wouldn’t have thought to place the rocks sideways instead of flat! I’m sure that Yarrow will drop seeds and fill in the soil area! Nice!
Wow I really love that!! Your so talented!!💕💕
Very creative ❤
You are amazing!
Marvelous work of art!
GREAT VIDEO! This gives me some encouragement.
Excellent. You just gave me a great idea. I am doing landscaping in my backyard and this is something I will use. Many thanks.
Have fun!
Love it I always wanted to do that so I think I’ll put it in the plans👍❤️😎
Wow. I just love it. ♥️
Love this project!!
Looks real nice, might try that !

Beautiful. Thankyou 😃 I wonder if this would work over an existing concrete walkway?
Not sure, never tried on concrete walkway. I would say that cement might dislocate with time, since pressure from foot traffic would be great. But not sure. You can try and let us all know.
@@OlgaCarmody thanks for your reply, I will try it 🙃
wow I love this idea! can you please share where you found so many nice stones?

@@OlgaCarmody Thank you very much! I will check it out!
OH! I LOVE it! I hope to do this in my garden! THANK YOU, Olga! I was so excited to see this video pop up in my feed. ❤
Yes, you are welcome! Not a big project, but very interesting for small spaces.
What kind of tree is behind the Cotoneaster? Very pretty and ingenious solution to the problem!
It is a beautiful weeping larch. I did a video on it, it is How to grow Weeping larch. Very graceful tree in my garden.
Love it!
Clever girl💕

Olga, thank you, what’s the big tree above? Larch?
Yes, that is my majestic leaping Larch! Isn't it pretty?
You're so brutal with that plant. Ugh.
You talk more than you act.not a good video you make here.try again sorry.
