Nothing like a beautiful stone pathway. Agree with you on placing the fossils. I collect rare books and antiques. Many wonder why we let people handle them. We just feel there was no value in hiding them or keeping people from connecting physically with history. Those guys did a great job.
I feel the same way. I wouldn't even be able to personally enjoy them stowed away in a box-let alone anyone else. Now, every morning that I walk out, I get to physically enjoy them in their element. Even this morning, a blue jay was picking at one (for some reason), so it's nice to see others interacting with them. Thank you!
Love the fossil idea. A house I lived in as a child had all these fossil rock slabs that we used for steps , sidewalks and flower beds. I loved looking at them and trying to find the many different ones.
Oh, the larger sized stones make the pathway so much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, love the way that entire project was done. Perfectly creative proportion. Stepping stone paths through the beds are not only a nice touch, but practical for bed maintenance as well.
Gorgeous. Just calls out to meander down the paths. I suspect it’s just the beginning. As you keep developing your land and creating more pockets of beauty, more paths will be done. It’s remarkable what you have done already in a very short period of time. So many projects and so much done by you, Sanders and Joey. Bravo to you and your homestead.
It looks fantastic, they did a beautiful job. I love your reasoning behind including your fossils, it's always best to enjoy nice things rather than always keeping them tucked away in storage for fear of them getting worn or damaged. Looking forward to seeing the thyme fill in little cracks between stones and spread, it'll look (and smell) amazing.
ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Great planning, great crew. Your sneeky paths force people to 'slow down' and enjoy their walk through the gardens. Thank you again Summer for sharing your passions with me and of course others. :0) I hope Sanders healing path from Lyme's is working for him. Namaste
Your garden looks great and full of life , the paths are beautiful and make look more complete. Love the videos and keep up your great work . Blessings ❤️😀
Thank you! We often use the drone to help us map out the path and garden shapes. Really comes in handy to see what it looks like on the ground and with birds eye view.
Gazebo looks great 🙂... 3:39 geometrically it'll look beautiful once its done. 8:17 aerial view brings to mind the botanical gardens, can bet it'll be amazing to see in person 😀 thanks for sharing- it is awesome. 🎉🎉🎉
I love the natural beauty of the stone, and the fossils are a cool, fun addition. The pathways now highlight your beautiful gardens, as the contrast is perfect. Great job by the stone masons and all the hard work that you and Sander have put into this property.
Beautiful pathway. And thanks for concidering ADA. My daughter uses a chair, but she loves gardening and hiking when accessible. Do you plan to open Flock to the public or for garden tours some day?
The mineral element in a garden is so important & ties together the whole thing. Bravo it's beautiful ! You'll be able to appreciate your gardens in all weather now too with dry footing.
We found out from Finger Lakes Stone (where we got the stone from), that this selection of stone is only found in a very specific part of their quarry, so we were lucky enough to have gotten it....and we barely had enough. Didn't realize how much this path would actually take.
wow! wow! wow! the pathway is exquisite. it always amazes me how some projects just create this whole new aesthetic making a property so much more inviting and exciting. i see why you were so happy when you returned to see the completed walk way.
Looking great! I'm on the site of an old quarry, and there's lots of stone to use. Dreaming of doing lots of work with stone in the future. Paths, walls, buildings. You name it!
Omg I went to Villa de Leya. There was a Museum of fossils too, hope you found it. It’s was in the outskirts and we were brave to hike to it. Hitched a cab ride back.
Yes, the Museum was actually built around the large fossil of the Kronosaurus they discovered. Initially the foreign archeologist wanted to acquire the fossil and ship it to a foreign country, and instead the Colombians said, "No way" and instead built the museum right around that fossil.
Everybody needs to get stoned! Lol. mma fighters have nothing on those guys..lol. hard backbreaking work! Beautiful work ... fossils are like icing on the cake.. Nice to see your ideas coming to life..Mr.Sauders and you have a Great eye
The mud from underneath over time will seep up through the crusher run, so it's advisable to put a barrier. That's more of an issue than having weeds moving in.
We have a shopping mall with a polished marble? floor. People are just walking all over it and I am photographing fossilised shells. You have a beautiful fossil collection. I just wonder about safe snow removal.. What is OK, softer plastic shovels or soft brushes, for powder snow? Maybe just let the snow melt and crunch crunch over it in Winter or just don't shovel the 'gems' ? That team really made a great statement in stone, to last an eternity. So beautiful. The sneaky paths are appealing too. The kids will love exploring there st Flock.
We discussed snow removal, but we actually rarely ever do snow removal in this area. We have a separate door that we enter that doesn't engage these paths at all, so we likely won't use any snow removal methods over the path. That was the same exact question Dave O'Brien asked about in regards to placing the smaller fossils, and we shared with him the same. So now we're definitely not going to be taking any ice pick or snow shovel over this. We'll see, however, if any of them get heaved out. Best way to know I suppose is just wait and observe :)
@@FlockFingerLakesWhew. Glad to hear that. Another subject, do you know Polygonum Multiflorum? I've seen a hard shampoo bar advertised, which is supposed to darken your hair and reverse hair loss. I guess you'd have to be careful and just use it on your head. 😂 The hair should end up looking like a waterfall. Enjoy the view. I heard geese flying South, last week.}}}}}}}}} >
Beautiful work and love your fossils! Doesn't NYCity have plaques and sayings imbedded in their sidewalks? Same principle. A few quick before/after shots at the end would have been interesting to see also. Little by little your foresty creation is evolving!
Excellent! But I just have to say: Breathing protection when cutting!! It really sucks to get both the short term and long term consequences of rock dust inhalation. Trust me I know (short term).
Was that Gaura Lindheimeri just before you start talking? I got one recently and did not regret it 😄Edit: Also I'm curious, do you have Phacelia somewhere on the property? I was pleasantly surprised that it just came up in my front garden (in NL), which goes quite nicely with the earlier mentioned plant 🙂
You got it! It's a LOVELY plant. Wonderful, long blooming, delicate and such a great generalist pollinator plant. We also have Oenothera gaura (Guara biennis) and it is a MUCH taller plant. Tops out at around 6-7 ft tall here and the bees love that too. Very prolific but the flowers appear to be more delicate.
Ode to delightful strolling, beauty and artistry at every glimpse.........

Oh wow! That is beautiful! A path of natural stone gives such gorgeous bone structure to
a garden.
Pathway is beautiful...what a difference it makes in garden!!!
Love the fossil idea. A house I lived in as a child had all these fossil rock slabs that we used for steps , sidewalks and flower beds. I loved looking at them and trying to find the many different ones.
Yes, same idea. Wish we had more dramatic fossils locally here, but alas, they are mainly small little mussel-like creatures.
They did a Beautiful job installing your stone pathways !
This is so nice. Love the fossils - yes, put them out and enjoy them. I have one on my desk and never tire of looking at it and touching it.

I love the pathway! It’s beautiful! I hope Sander is feeling better ? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Sander is feeling good. We'll have an update in the coming weeks hopefully after bloodwork comes in.

wow! that looks amazing.
your property is transforming into a beautiful nature walk!
GORGEOUS!!!
Wow looks great! Love how the house has progressed as well, can't wait to see the final reveal!

Such beautiful stone work that you all will be able to enjoy through the seasons.
Hopefully will last many, many lifetimes!
Gracias por visitar mi lindo país !!!

As a landscaper who done thos several times... nice job.
Biilding a garden is constrution job, at least in 50%. Sometimes 90%!
Beautiful pathway. And thanks for concidering ADA. My daughter uses a chair, but she loves gardening and hiking when accessible. Do you plan to open Flock to the public or for garden tours some day?
Absolutely stunning
This is utterly spectacular and so inviting!
The mineral element in a garden is so important & ties together the whole thing. Bravo it's beautiful !
You'll be able to appreciate your gardens in all weather now too with dry footing.
Looks beautiful!
thanks so much. We're chuffed!
Congrats on this big project completion. Looks like the projects are ongoing and this is good. Life evolves
Gorgeous!
Looks very pretty!
Thanks. We are so pleased with the results.
Thanks-I wondered if your lovely wet climate might be the reason.
Very nice indeed!
Love those pathways. Good choice in materials.

Beautiful work ... fossils are like icing on the cake..
Nice to see your ideas coming to life..Mr.Sauders and you have a Great eye
What a beautiful pathway. Can you explain why you determined that using the geotextile was necessary under the crusher run?
Thank you!
The mud from underneath over time will seep up through the crusher run, so it's advisable to put a barrier. That's more of an issue than having weeds moving in.
The garden is coming together now 😀
Yes! Yes! Yes! To think it was all just lawn before. The shapes are really...ahem...shaping up, and we're excited to put in more ...maybe next year.
beautifully done ! Love it!
Would be cool to put your fossils into epoxy resin to make an epoxy transparent tile and preserve the fossils at the same time
Where are the safety glasses…true artist
We are always flabbergasted how folks here don't use safety gear, but that's just how it is here!
Gravel paths are more than adequate.

lol, it sounds like a cool idea to have such big slabs of stone there, but my experience makes me think that it's just a cracked concrete >
Excellent!
But I just have to say: Breathing protection when cutting!!
It really sucks to get both the short term and long term consequences of rock dust inhalation. Trust me I know (short term).
