庭の紹介

 夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました. 赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.
 2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

PAVING SLABS

Today's afternoon, I bought concrete paving slabs for making a path in front of the bathtub pool.   As we often walk on the lawn there to a steel outdoor storage, there are bare lawn patches.  It may be due to compacted soil, poor soil drainage, or lack of sunlight...


One 22.5 x 22.5 cm slab costs 332 yen + 8% sales tax.  

We started to make a check pattern path.


At first, we temporary placed the slabs to confirm the design.


Then I cut a turf with the same size of a slab using a lawn edger, and remove the turf.



A paving slab was placed in the square hole.


It took an hour to complete the path.
Removed turfs were replanted to bare patches.
It looks better, isn't it?
