We've needed a better way to get from the south side of our patio to the lawn, so I finally did something about it. The septic tank is located in that area, so there's very little topsoil to support a good stand of grass. The area has a tendency to get quite muddy in heavy rains. So, the solution was to build up the soil level a bit along the path of the walkway, then add stepping stones and rock.

These photos show how it was and how it is now.


The plants sitting on stepping stones in the mulched area are above the tank accesses.

Not sure what's worse right now - inhaling shop dust or working outside and inhaling pollen!!

good work bill! for a second there, when you said it was near the septic tank, i thought that you were going to combine your skills, and put up one of these too....

 

[Dave Hoskins]

I think everybody needs one of these.

I'm with you on the pollen Bill, but that'll pass by as well pretty soon (at least here and hopefully there!).

The walkway sure looks nice, love the contrasting white and red. Definitely brightens the space up a lot!

The last time we played golf, just before they all closed, I was in the fairway waiting for the wife to hit to the green. Just then a gust of wind hit the stand of Doug Firs behind the green and a large, large cloud of green "dust" slowly worked it way out of the stand and onto the adjoining fairway.

I had never seen anything like it and my thoughts slipped instantly to the movie "The Happening", wondering if Nature was truly trying to kill us. That night and the next week I was sure it was.

I thought grass was always greener over the septic tank ?

Ha! Maybe if it leaks?

Down here, the same thing happens with the pine trees. We've seen a cloud like that looking down the street while sitting on our porch.

Don't have too many pines here, but periodically my white car and truck have a yellow tinge to them.

When the oaks pollinate here, every horizontal surface gets a yellow coating. Since I have about 20 oaks on the property, it's a pretty thick coating, too.

Looks really nice Bill!
