Love your aesthetic and ingenuity, Chip! Thanks for letting us into your brain as you consider design options, that was very interesting. The pebbles add serenity to this space. Gorgeous. 🌿🌿🌿
Hi Pleasantprickles , thank you for your lovely message & feedback it’s very much appreciated 🤠 so glad you enjoyed the little design thought’s 🤭 giggles, I brief glimpse of my thoughts 💭 have yourself a wonderful day & all the best 🌱 Chip
At first I thought that the slate was fine. But then I began to think it was too matchy-matchy with the color you picked for the raised beds. I totally agree with your choice of pebbles. It makes everything pop. Another great choice. Looking forward to seeing the other two beds made and planted out.
Hi Maria, I was thinking exactly the same , I did liked the slate at first but it did start to look a bit bland 👍🏼 glad you like the switch to pebble’s 🤠 have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
A question. I’ve come in part way through your vlogs. Are you doing 2 gardens? I liked the slate because you don’t see it in New Zealand but the contrast of the stones looks better
Hi Ruralangwin 🤠 yes at this moment in the process the garden is looking very modern but as the garden processes with planting & other elements I think it will completely change the look 👍🏼 keep tuned 😁 have a fabulous day & all the best 🌱 Chip
These pebbles look very Japanese, I thought you were going for pea gravel and was surprised by their scale. But it's not really a pathway so it will be a nice design element.
Hi Jlanvers, yes I agree it does have a Japanese feel about it & I’m glad you see this so early in the process , it probably come from my love of the Japanese gardens 🤠 .. im hoping as the garden progresses it will take on more of the characteristics of the Japanese look 👍🏼 thanks for your feedback very much appreciated & have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Hi Torikeen , I never really thought to say but the pebbles are a natural stone colour not white , they just look that way as they are covered in light chalky coating , I’m hoping after a couple of downpours of heavy rain the pebbles will look fabulous , thank you for your feedback it’s very much appreciated & have a wonderful day 🤠 all the best 🌱 Chip

Looks fantastic but from experience light pebbles are a nightmare to keep they end up looking grubby quite quickly
