| 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...
