Retaining Wall Ideas - a006_6.jpg (0/1)
(Yeesh, not sure I'm attaching this pic right... anyway...)
This is a pic of the tree in my new front yard. I'm not sure if they're visible, but there're some fairly good sized Rhodies on the other side of this tree, in all the whole thing is about 10 feet across or so. The front of the house has railroad tie retaining walls that are beginning to buckle outward, so an upgrade of those too, will need to be done at a later date. I've always fancied rock walls with things planted in the cervices, anyway, I was thinking of having some big rock delivered and building a circular retaining wall, and then a small one inside and above it, as well. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about that, or any other ideas for retaining walls they might like to share. My husband and I are DIY's, and this seems like the perfect small project for us, for a couple weekends or so... what do you think? As for plants, once the Rhodies are removed to better areas, I was thinking of Callas and Hellebores in the top ring closest to the trunk, and then St John's Wort and Vinca in the lower level. I live in Snohomish, zone 8. I appreciate any thoughts, tips, or wisdom! Thanks! ~Lilly Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. "Eleonora" |
