Real rocks,find near your home,woods,ground from digging,dig out soil add crushed rocks,level rocks with laser level and string,rent a compactor,start up,push over stones like a vacuum cleaner,place stones so they best fit together,and sand over top after,compact again,after sweeping into crackes,continue,add more sand if needed,prep for ground most important
Why so unnatural,why use fake China looking crap for a landscape,make it like the pioneers would do it
No creativity,all manual,I do customer made landscaping,real rocks,no team,no machine,just myself
Americans can't even pave or build a fire pit properly. They make as if they've achieved soo much… Pathetic!
It's nice, but too sophisticated to build.
Why are they walking in the screed sand?
A decent builder would be using sand and cement to build this not concrete adhesive
Who wants some clam chowda?!
