Fantastic. I have never seen hard landscaping work of as high a standard as this. You make the landscapers in my area look like amateurs.
Ian Olpin May 25, 2013 at 10:32am

Nobody should underestimate the amount of planning, cutting, work and attention to detail that goes into producing something as striking as this. Complements the soft side brilliantly, great work Mick.

Amazing what you can do with a bunch of blocks and pavers with vision, skill and wherewithal!

this was discussed in great detail and cost had been made both by myself to purchase the machinery or to have them re shaped by a specialist stone company and the home owner decided he was happy leaving the bull nose shape as they are
