Granite Garden Paths
September 9th, 2008 in member junk
Dumpster Diving for granite. Now that is a heavy job.
All summer I have been adding a huge garden out at our cabin, and have made numerous walking paths out of "junk" granite that is in a dumpster on the way to our cabin (how convienent).
I also have large chunks I've stock piled that are perfect rectangles that I hope to build something sturdy enough to hold the granite and maybe make a table, bench, or something out of them.
My fil built a granite floor for a metal arbor that someone was throwing out. My fil and mil rescued, painted, and turned it into a sitting area down by their lake, with metal white furniture in it. It's awesome.

Loved all of your pics regarding junk decorating. They are very inspirational. Can't wait to see what I can do with my "cottage" room.
Your garden is just great. I love anything to do with gardening, garden paths, and garden art. We always look forward to next year and what we can come up with.
Great job!!!

It is unbelievable the good "junk" that gets thrown out - and just think, we're only finding a "small" portion... What a great find for you!

No blisters. A few scrapes and sore muscles (definitely), but between water skiing all summer and the laying of these paths its been a great workout. Ha! Posted: 10:05 am on September 9th
