Stones for dirt....

John spent a few days re-landscaping this area off of our deck.  We were having trouble growing grass there so we decided to just add river rock and stepping stones.  John did the stone design.  I did the plants with John's help planting them.  I'm happy now not having to look at dirt and dying grass.  This should also be easy to keep clear of leaves and twigs with just using the blower.  One more project out of the way and off the "to do" list.

 The plants in the pots have been planted since this picture was taken.

Looking from the shed toward the deck and yard.  John had previously put down the pavers so he just left them.  Just too much work to remove them for now.
