Green Mountain Landscape, "Inviting nature home"

The original walkway was on its second poured concrete and failing again, and was becoming crowded by a shrub, lastly it connected to the driveway to close to the garage. The Home Owner wanted a place for her antique water well and for the pavers to be reddish in color. Since the existing landscape was not going to be altered except for the removal of the overgrown bush, a simple raised edging would be needed to contain the lava rock mulch. By choosing a paver with large and small components, extra pieces turned up on-end would do the trick. The porch was a plain poured concrete slab so to help visually tie the porch to the walkway, plain square grey pavers were used as a soldier course. All pavers used were weathered (rounded over edges) to fit with the style of the farm house. Inlayed into the walk, and utilizing the same pavers as the soldier course, a circle carried into the landscape bed to highlight the water well, but the half of the circle in the landscape bed was made from crushed marble.
