Work began last week on the new crevice garden.
The prep work involved mostly digging in the mud removing twelve inches of soil.
The first row of lags are laid upright in a diagonal row across he middle of the space. The line of the tops of the flagstones determines the general swoop of the topography from upper patio thu the middle to the lower walk.
The beauty of the crevice garden is that it is beautiful AND does away with the need for a conventional terrace wall, while still retaining the slope and grade of the hill. The stones in the crevice garden create a gentle rolling slope, something you can walk down rather than step off and fall over.
