By the UAA theater arts building they've had this stone lawn for a long time that allows you to drive over the lawn, but not have a sterile paved driveway. Even though the green isn't thick, it looks good.
THE BAD
Down the street, when they built this duplex, they had a crew put black plant cover cloth all over this small hill and then covered it with rocks. Presumably this was intended to eliminate the need to do any yard work here. At the end of winter, the sidewalk is covered with the rocks.Time flies, so I don't remember if it was two or three years ago that they did this, but if we are lucky, the green will totally cover the sterile rocks before long .
It is like a geography class. It is useful though.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked those little concrete nubs. They keep showing back up through the early winter, but later, they start getting iced over. When it starts getting sunny back there again in March, they start melting their ice off, finally peeking back out in mid-April.
