Drainage advice?
The larger rocks should be darkest in color and furthest from the middle.
The smaller rocks, lighter in color, will accent the center line. Avoid any straight lines or sharp bends. The creek should flow naturally. Be careful of what you plant along the edge. Some plants will cross the bed and eventually clog it. Use porous weed barrier on the bottom to keep the rocks from sinking into the soil. Neat trick - scatter a small bag of marbles amongst the rocks. The sun will make them sparkle like diamonds. These are terrific tips. I have filed them. Do you have any pictures that you could send to me privately? I have one big question. I know where to drain it from but where do I drain it to? Maybe dig a gravel filled hole behind a bush somewhere? Marilyn |

What about a lake, pond or a canal? Failing that, how about letting it drain out into a large field? |
