They were partially buried and looked like they had always been there.<br />Like your sign rock.

We'll probably pile up some coarse gravel and soil around it, and maybe plant some of that clump grass that grows tall and almost looks like wheat, like what we have growing by the front window.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-6605206462623065482020-09-24T07:06:55.264-07:002020-09-24T07:06:55.264-07:00Nicely done, sir.

Most folks still don't see it, but at least we tried. The large rocks in the yard, here and there, were placed by the previous owner (or the builder; it's hard to say).Rev.

To make up for it, the vendor <i>gave</i> us the slab the number was engraved on, along with all the small rocks. So aside from paying the engraver, the sign was free.<br /><br />Total cost for everything including delivery was under $600.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-74995250062985397572020-09-23T15:50:17.358-07:002020-09-23T15:50:17.358-07:00At least you got little rocks...
