Great Job! It's hard enough to put that stuff together nice and square - but you did it with a creative use of circles and curves - very cool! Sure feels good when it's all done doesn't it?

question for you sumu - how would I go about learning how to do this? I've never seen one that would "work" with my sloping yard layout, and can barely afford the pavers and such, but I want so bad to try - I just don't know where to start.

two years ago I got a great deal on a little cement mixer that I use for mixing up my soils. now I'd like to try this - we have a pool and the surrounding concrete apron is 25 yrs. old and getting crumbly. I'm about to try a walkway in the front yard first

it looks like you put down some sort of base first?

Riviera Magazine May 2008

Questions for Aurélien Liutkus the talented Landscape Architect on planting a Mediterranean garden:

The Three Colours for the Riviera:

Camaieu blue like the sky and the sea,
shiny grey like the olive trees,
white like the dails of the boats.

Favourites:

Lights because a garden also lives in the evening. Who
can resist the breathtaking charm of flowers draped in the darkness, emaning wonderful scents ?
No doubt beauty is in the detail...
