      Agreed. She just got into it, didn't worry about if her technique was 'perfect'. Sometimes you'll find that if you just get to doing the actual work, you'll be finished before you ever had a plan ready. Obviously she had Mark's guiding hand but I agree with you.

    Cute home and the added path looks nice.
    The only thing I would have done differently is widen/curve out the path at the driveway. It would then better match to opposite end at the circle.

      I was thinking that this was one of the few episodes I've seen where the homeowner is really getting their hands and knees dirty. I think we can safely say she contributed to the job and it did come out looking great. As for others talking about stones and shoveling, from what I know, the problem is with snowblowers and stones. Anyway, I just wish they would can the music.(I've been told it's not possible, but I can keep wishing).

    • @lazygardens
      @lazygardens Год назад +1

      It doesn't. You scoop up stones with the snow ... OR the snow melts and freezes into the stones, leaving you with a sheet of ice until it can thaw.

  • @BobbieJeanM

    I’ve always thought of that type of stone as “tumbled rock” and “pea stone” as 1/4 to 1/2 that size. Also usually white to very light gray not the multicolored stone here. It’s a beautiful walkway and I think the stone used here will be easier to walk on than what I’m used to.
