Front retaining walls

We had two concrete retaining walls constructed at the front of the house to make two levels of garden bed. We had had those large rocks placed at the side of the walls. I only have a couple of plants planted at the moment. Next thing to do is put in more plants then some tan bark. After that I have to get some top soil and get a lawn started at the top.

Rock my world

This weekend hubby and I visited Rocks Plus in Bayswater North to choose some rocks to be placed around the retaining wall that is getting built this week.

We were given a can of spray paint and had to spray a mark on the rocks that we wanted. After choosing the rocks they were loaded up onto a truck and they delivered them to us the same morning. It doesn't look like it but we have a total of 11 rocks. We chose honeycomb rocks of varying sizes and shapes. I can't wait to see these in place by the end of the week.
