Katy Elliott spotted these at a flower show but they would make a great do-it-yourself garden project. Arranged in groups they can make broader outdoor patio surfaces and define gathering spaces while creating an array makes for an easy stepping-stone style path through existing greenery.
very ‘zen’.
LOVElovelovelove!
LOVE it, but it probably wouldn’t be worth the effort in Fla. Termites, etc. would turn it into sawdust in no time.
Does anyone know if they are set in anything, or sealed.????? I love it may do some in back yard.
Hi Beverley, following the link, you can see that they seem to be set in sand.
Super joli ! quelle bonne idée !
how long would it last?
Cut thickly enough it would make a great floor if one had the patience…
Judea Nieuwenhuijzen we have one like this made of oak, it lasts for ~ 7years now. Every year we remove grass and kind of mushrooms growing between little blocks, and last year we filled spaces between blocks with sand.
What can we put ion our wood slice path so it doesn’t become so slippery/slimy in the rainy season??? Any answers out there? Mine become so dangerously slippery you can’t walk on them. I could use some suggestions. I live in the Pacific NW where we get lots of rain. Thanks. By the way I love my path! Cindy ~
What about applying something similar to Thompson’s WaterSeal, and while still wet, do a light sprinkling of play sand? Once it is dry, it should offer up a bit of “grit” to keep your footing. Just thinking here… There are also spray can-style sealants one could use *after* sprinkling the sand.
Really cool – love it.
I love this!
This inspired a bit in my garden too, planted up with chamomile and lavender in the gaps, surrounded by Honeysuckle and Jasmine, it provides the ‘floor’ of my new fragrant seating area I made last summer :)
dont they rot? and who do you hire to cut them? :-)
A power miter saw or other power saws would do the trick. Perhaps you have a neighbor or someone in your circle of friends or even a facebook plea my come up with someone to help cut them. I live in Oregon and untreated wood rots fast here. I am intrigued with this idea and I would try using a sealer such as Thompson Water Sealer, which is clear, or a semi-transparent deck stain. The stain runs about $30-40 a gallon, Thompson s is cheaper. Your local hardware store could help you and should be willing to inform you about… Read more »
