This morning a post came across my feed from a landscaper who specializes in brick and rock borders, gravel. The photos of their work were very appealing.
I shared their post on my page, with this comment:
Beautiful borders! As an eco landscaper, with a focus on native and edible trees and plants, I often suggest borders as a way to convey a deliberate and neat appearance.
A managed meadow yard can sometimes get to looking unkempt but I find that a border makes all the difference. Sort of like framing a picture. Good to know these guys exist, they are based in Winterhaven Florida and I’m in Daytona Beach.
Note to fellow Permaculture designers / consultants / landscapers, it’s a really good idea to build a resource list of practitioners in your area. Pond design/builders, pavement & border specialists, and yes even we sometimes need mowing and tree-trimming services!
