I decided to put the stones down anyway. It looks great! Put them around the jarrah rounds and up at the sitting area, and a little way into where I had moved the ferns to (behind the tree).
It looks so good, I'm glad I bit the bullet and did it. Didn't compact the ground at all - just layed the stones (about 3") over the top.
Then decided I really needed to get other plants still in pots into the ground so I planted:
- More gardenias (between the bore pump and the driveway)
- Fish bone ferns behind them - under the leaves of the monsteras)
- More dietes in front of the gardenias
- Phormiums (phormia?) and cordylines along the fence (towards the tap from the gardenias planted the other day)
- Dietes in front of the phormiums and cordylines
I also put in some retic, as the sprinkler wont reach all the extra plants I put in.
Also mulched the newly planted areas.
Wow! This has made a big difference. It looks pretty good.
Haven't planted or mulched right to the edge of the paving for two reasons:
- I don't have the plants yet (liriope muscari)
- Think I need to redo the concrete at the edge of the paving as the dingo made it break and some pavers have moved.
I can now happily return to work tomorrow feeling that progress has been made. It's been over a year since the paving was done, and I was getting tired of looking at that dirty old Perth grey sand from the kitchen.
It looks *much* better now, even though still incomplete:
