groundcover question .......... around stepping stones
Comments (3)If you can find and transplant some pieces of moss, it will look wonderful. It does take a while to get established, but you can help it along with the buttermilk and water treatment (more about that in the moss forum). Mosses love shady moist clay and are usually a lovely spring green. Also, Lysimachia nummularia aurea would succeed but does tend to take over. Also check out the Selaginellas (S. uncinata is the beautiful peacock moss, and S. kraussiana aurea is a beautiful lime colored moss--think I spelled them correctly)....See Morepebbles tile around the water line & steps - pics ?
Comments (2)Thank-you. I have a few pics with black pebbles but not white. Well, I just got them through the internet yesterday. The pool company is in for a shock .. I hope they have the know-how to install ! Will see about grouting / sealing .. :-)...See MoreWrap around Steps
Comments (3)Since you already know how to calculate stringers, this will be simple: The corner stringers run at a 45 degree angle to the corner, if it is a 90 degree bend in the stairs. Use double stringers at corners. The rise is equal to your other stringers, but the tread length is 1.414 times greater. When you cut the stringers, cut the risers at a 45 degree bevel from the lines you draw, and alternate bevel directions to make an inside or outside corner. If it is a long run of stairs, you need to add additional stringers off the corner stringers, running parallel to your regular stringers. It is the same idea as building a hip or valley in a roof. Good luck!...See MoreWe need new steps and porch posts for single home, built around 1925
