Just love your pictures and what a great idea for the walking pad.
Perhaps you have some ideas for my yard. After digging a new surface well last year, we had to pick up lots of stones.
Now, have you any suggestion what to plant around the well without damaging it ??
swissy,
not sure. My well isn't like that at all. We have to get in it from time to time with a ladder to fix the pump, so we have nothing planted around it at all. It would get trampled. I don't take pics of it. It's not scenic.
Sometimes the best way to deal with an eye-sore is to cover it up, or turn your gaze elsewhere with something more interesting.
We don't have to open the well at all, but as you suggested...I try to look away...it's hard, my eyes just go back to that cement block.
It is in the far corner, below is the road to the lake and perhaps I will plant a Spirea van Houttei, the one with the white flowers. It grows high enough and also wide enough !!!
Thanks .
You could both look around on Stepables.com for things you can plant around your wells. They have many types of ground cover and lot's of them hold up well to foot traffic.
