Stone wall building

After watching our garden workman, Olivier, building some stone walls for garden edging, we decided we could get started on some other walls too. We can now add stone wall building to our list of new DIY skills. Sensibly, we started with the smallest edging to do, around the rose bed and the result is not too bad at all. Not quite as sleek looking as Olivier's, but once the gravel is down will look just as good I'm sure.




Jane cementing in the stones (wearing her Waipu hat). We now know it takes a lot of thought - and moving of stones - to work out which stones go where in order to get a) a fairly straight edge and b) a flat top. Not great for backs!


The end result.
