I am working the walkway in front of our house, I dug up the old stuff and made a stone wall. I spread some more gravel. A friend gave me some yuccas and I planted them.

Your place is gorgeous and you have done a ton of work on it (no make that many tons, given all the rock hauling). You are right the new stuff is still a little raw. The look of the line of rock will get softened when there are a few plants draping/trailing over a few of the rocks.
But what a beautiful place to live!

Amazing work. These are the rocks you got earlier right? You are making the big rocks work very nicely. And I'm in love with the fairy sculpture -- did you make that yourself?
Your place is starting to look like a botanical garden.
I'm picturing these rocks quicky gather patina of lichen and moss in your climate. They will look spectacular. You may want to hasten the process on some of them with moss blended in milk... Or was that buttermilk? (I've come across the recipe in various gardening articles for years, but they actually sell the mixture in a 1/2 gallon milk carton now)

Hi Tom,
I love your place and the view. I appreciate all the effort you are putting.
I like how You arranged the terracing wall from the stones, and the wall around the road.
IMHO, if I had to put the stones, I will try to group them in a more asymmetrical manner , and make groups from them, so they can make a statement.
I also bury the bottom part of the stones a bit in the ground.
I hope I am making some sense.
I must have used 100 tons of rock in my yard...at one point my neighbour thought I am crazy.
There are lots of things you can make with stones.
