Garden Pictures Chat Corner

I am currently involved in a project with large stones. The stones shown are being equipped with speakers and will go to the Loreley. I would find such an 8-ton graywacke boulder great at the left corner of the property. Does a height restriction towards the street actually apply to such an admittedly oversized boundary stone, like it does for a fence? I'll ask the building authority.

if you have Napoleon, Gustav-Adolf, Bismarck etc. written up with the year,
set the stone, and have it erected,
you get into the golden book and have your stone :cool:,
someone important must have ridden by there already

I find the shape too artificial. Maybe better a glacial erratic?

Good idea, but that's not my goal. I simply find these big boulders beautiful and have a local connection to them. As for transport – it's indeed no child's play, but we manage the 4km from the quarry to us. Cheap: no drainage-fuss-foundation needed :cool:.

I can understand that formally. If you go to the stone from the quarry, you see prehistoric fossils all over the surface. We live on such a greywacke rock and would basically be bringing out a part of it, even if it was taken a few kilometers away. Therefore, there is indeed a special connection to this type of stone.

So much for the "soil class" here is an already somewhat weathered part of the "excavation". The big thing is made of the same material.

Greywacke is great, our raised beds and the stepping stones in the garden are made from it. Especially the many fossil imprints make it exciting.
