Today I took a walk with my daughter into the woods to relax, enjoy each other’s company and get into nature.
We ended up balancing some rocks at a popular swimming hole.
It was an amazing time. Taking a day off of work to spend some important time with my daughter.
Rock balancing
We started off picking some wild blueberries. Then strolling down to the river, we ate some lunch and enjoyed the waterfalls.
It was a great time. Balancing stone is an amazing meditation and relaxing art form.
Temporary art
When we finished we discussed if we should knock them down or not. We decided to leave them up. Then we hiked up to the top of the waterfall and as we looked down on our rock balancing we saw people hiking in and taking pictures of our work. Then we noticed people engaging with what we did. Some tried to balance their own rocks, one guy balanced a rock on top of ours. It was a beautiful thing.
We just finished a dry laid flagstone patio in Asheville, nc.
Dry laid stone work is done without the use of concrete or mortar.
The strength of the patio relies on a well drained base of gravel and tightly cut large pieces of stone.
Custom cut patio stone
Each piece of stone is hand cut to fit tightly and to create a structural and attractive pattern.
We also installed a bench wall at the edge of the patio. This wall supports the lower edge of the patio and adds a place to relax and enjoy the backyard.

Dry laid stone work will last for decades if installed correctly.
