Hm...that could work. But I dunno where to look. Brick houses aren't exactly common around here, and never have been. But it would look nice!

I need to redo the border on our driveway (and add some more gravel). We have landscape timbers which I hate. The previous owner did ~not~ do a good job of putting them in....

We have done timbers, railroad ties, retaining wall stones, old bricks and that plastic stuff. The wood beams are the easiest to install and to weed whack but I like the brick myself. I think when I get a house I will just make the lawn one big garden so I don't have to mow it.
My parents are returning their yard to naturally occurring plants that grow in that area. Prairie grasses and such.
