Having our outdoor landscaping updated gave Ted and me some additional ideas for our yard. We like the paving stones the landscaper installed to shortcut through our privacy hedge. We’d been walking through there since 1981, and never thought of adding paving stones to the mulch. The stones are so nice, we thought they’d be good leading up to our front yard outdoor faucet as well, so we took care of that today.
This will be nicer than walking over the mulch to turn the water on or off–in my case, usually with bare feet. (The dying cedar bush is on the list to disappear.)
Paving stones all the way to the faucet.
All the edging the landscaper put around the mulch and stones in our yard made us want to contain the mulch in our brush area behind the storage shed too. (It’s called the brush area because it’s where we put trimmed branches and raked leaves until Ted and his chipper turn them into mulch.) We did that job right after finishing the paving stones.
Mark a line with string to remove the grass and install the edging.

Voilà! Contained mulch in the brush area.
